An alternative view of Patience

Life will cause somethings to have to pause. Sometimes life will slow us down and that is ok. Nedra Glover Tawaab

I want to offer to you another definition of Patience

Let us look at patience as more than waiting

Patience is HOW we wait

Patience is being present

Patience is standing on something

Patience is thinking the highest outcome while you wait

Patience is not only about waiting, its about presence, its about knowing that the future thing you want starts now.

If you want to start a business, you want to get healthy, you want to change your life- it starts now and includes you being patient. It makes a difference how you wait, how you act as you put things in place to get where you want to get.

You must be fully present in the moment because how you are today impacts the future.

If you want something in the future, you cannot act any old way now, you have to put things in place in the present moment.

You have to be in alignment in thought, word and deed. If you think about the goal and believe that you cannot achieve it, you will not be alignment, patience involves alignment.

You have to remember that patience is also about discipline – on a daily basis you stay the course, to keep re-enforcing wherever you want to go, whatever you want to achieve.

Patience requires a consciousness – if that consciousness includes doubt, worry, fear, trust, confidence, unfocused scattered attention, compassion, judgement. They will impact what comes about, the impact the future and what you create.

Patience involves us having a level of trust because we cannot control every outcome – you start your business, your project without knowing what the final outcome is, you wait in trust with the prayer “this our something better” God’s will be done.

In the meantime- we wait!
