Do you find yourself getting flustered over the smallest of things? Recall instances from your daily lives: missed deadlines, waiting in queues, missing the bus, or a dish that didn’t turn out as expected!
It happens to me often. I find myself getting upset over trivial things, only to realize minutes later that it wasn’t such a big deal after all.
Patience is truly an important virtue, and sometimes very difficult to practice. The learning is to get out of the instant gratification mindset, and strive harder to achieve our goals. This article in the Huffington Post on patience is great, and puts a lot of things in perspective. Another wonderful read is Dave Ursillo’s article, which can help you nurture patience, in unique ways.
