Patience...

A few blogs ago I spoke on having aggressive patience, which is aggressively doing the daily things while patiently waiting for the end result.  Then, I put out a blog about the byproducts of life, you know an unintended result produced in doing or producing something else.  Still, the world is rushing to find the next big idea, and the world will do whatever it takes to find that idea.  So many of us have forget the word that is preached over and over again to us especially as children and young adults, patience is a virtue.  We preach it so much that we forget the meaning behind it and instead just speak the words without implementing them into action.  Patience is a virtue when one can be patient for something, and during that time they don't show or feel any anger, anxiety, frustration, or fear.  The world is full of people who feel and display these actions.  Impatience in turn has many people chasing after their dreams thinking that if I keep chasing or keep grinding, I will eventually catch my dreams.  Or people are chasing after the byproducts of life, because we are too impatient.  When we get into these modes of chasing dreams and material things, we are selfishly focusing on our own desires.

The byproducts of life and our dreams are provided to us when we are doing things the right way.  When we are continuously serving others our gift, being of value, and putting we before me, then that is when blessings come to seek us out.  Instead, we want to put everything into our own hands and dictate the outcome of the end result.  When that is done it leads to a road of anger, anxiety, frustration, and fear.  We need to get back to a place where we value patience, and not just talk about it but practice it.  But maybe the reason why it is hard to practice patience is because patience is suffering.  Patience can be broken into two words Pati-ence: pati means suffering; and ence means action, state, condition or quality.  Some of us don't want to be suffering and put under pressure until the end, we want it now.  Some of us would rather stay coal instead of enduring the pressure and coming out as a diamond.  The suffering that is endured during patience builds us to have a stronger mind so that when the byproducts of life come, we know what to do with them.  In everything have patience...
