Learn To Be Patient

We have some habits we feel are natural and cannot change, but one habit I have personally felt possible to change is patience. I do not claim to be a very patient person but I have realized that I have increased my level of patience over time and so can you. It does not have to be a radical change, but you can start one step at a time.

The most important thing about being patient is to always know when you are not patient. That is the first key. Detecting whenever you are not patient helps you realize the things that make you rather angry. In understanding the things that make you angry, you can easily make a conscious effort to avoid them. I feel impatient especially after expecting something from someone but get a rather lower result. This I have realized to be something that makes me less patient and one of the things I can do is to ensure I do more to help the person when discussing and to try as much as possible. In doing more, I believe the result would be better.

So in whatever it is that you do, the need to be patient is very important and one of the best ways is to always be aware of when you are not patient. Beyond understanding when you are not patient, you also need to help set a target for yourself in not getting angry. For me, when things would rather make me impatient, I tell myself learning to be patient now would be important in the future and so, I try to tell myself that this moment is a training for the future. In everything that we do, being patient always pays. But never equate patience with laziness. Being patient is giving in all that you can while expecting that the best result would still come. You do not give less than you can and patiently expect the best results. That does not happen.

So as you start your day today, realize that you might naturally not be a patient person but that patience is like developing your muscles. You were not built with all your muscles already out, you take your time to develop them and so with patience. You can begin to get into the gym of patience so that in the end, you become a better person. Never say that I am naturally not patient, learn to be patient. It helps in the long run.

So start now and let that thing that would have made you angry make you patient, because if we are all patient enough, the end is always better when we are patient. Be patient today with your spouse, your kids, your employers and your employees and things would be alright in the end.

The best way to be patient is when you have the right to be angry but you give it all up to be patient. Try that and you would be better. Thanks and God Bless.
