Patience is one of the hardest habits to obtain. Oh sure, we all like to think we are patience folks, but really, even the "saints" among us lose their discipline every once and awhile, especially when it comes to dealing with those who test it mightily.
I will readily admit, this is one habit I daily work to improve. It is tested almost on an hourly basis it seems when dealing with certain tasks and individuals. So what's the trick to controlling the patience beast as it were? It's letting go. That's it. L E T G O. I suggest posting these words near your computer, your fridge or anywhere you can get a daily visual. You can't control others, you can't control situations. It's my duty to inform you that you were not named the King or Queen of Universe. I'm sorry to say. I know...this was a big shocker to me as well, clearly I thought I had a lock on the position as I was in total control of everyone and everything....wasn't I clear about that? Sorry...I digress. Back to patience.
Patience is about letting go of your expectations of others. You simply have to wait out the process and not over think, worry about the outcome before it happens. You have to wait and let the magic flow as it should. Que Sera Sera - Whatever will be, will be (thank you Doris Day for the music now playing in my head) but it's true. Patience is simply just letting go and giving things time to occur. I found when I let go that people did exactly what was necessary to make a project soar, tasking occur as should and on time and everything fell into it's perfect place....and no disaster occurred. Even if a disaster occurred, I was able to snap into action and take care of the crisis without any further problems. I had patience to know that the situation was under control.
So...my young grasshoppers....have patience and start to begin to enjoy benefits of letting go....and leave the universe management to the higher power.
