Patience is of the Essence

I saw this sign on the side of a road and I couldn’t help but stop to take a photo so I can share this message with you.

Let’s talk about time

Time is a revolution. It does not stop, it does not slow down and it does not speed up.

Because time does not mend for us, that’s what makes it so much more valuable.

Why should we waste it dwelling on the unknown?

For some reason, we put time caps on things we want to achieve in life. And when our desires don’t happen in our wanted timeframes, we feel as if we were let down.

Living this way can be detrimental to our quality of life.

Things won’t always happen exactly when we want, but that does not mean we should be losing hope in the good that we’re bound to face.

The more we get worked up over the uncertainties in life, the more time we waste from focusing on the happy things in the current moment.

Not everything in life is going to be a breakthrough, so if that’s all we wait on, we aren’t able to find the light in the little things in our lives.

The power of patience

Patience is the key to having hope for the breakthroughs of the future, while also having contentment with the little moments of happiness in each day.

Training ourselves to be patient omits our need to force deadlines on future goals.

Being patient means we might have to walk our paths a little slower than we’d like, but this gives us more time to take in the little moments of joy on the way.

As we take our time walking a little slower, we remember to never walk backwards.

Backwards is the only way that runs opposite to overall life success, so as long as you’re moving forward, that’s all that matters.

Don’t lose hope when things feel slow, they’re supposed to.

Respect your process

When you progress in figuring out how the path to patience looks for you, don’t compare your road to the roads of others.

The beauty of patience is that it looks different for everyone.

Along our journeys, we all adopt different ways of navigating.

Do what you enjoy and let things happen naturally. It is during these organic moments that we are truly able to open up and appreciate the journey of life.

Good things take time. Be patient and you’ll see.
