Purpose of patience

Patience is not passive. It’s active, concentrated strength. Patience sucks. However, it’s a real virtue. We may think that patience means we’ll miss out on the things we want to achieve (career choices, learning opportunities or relationships). But, the tortoise won the race because it persevered constantly. Each small step forward taken with clarity, hope, passion, purpose or inspiration eventually leads to big achievements. Even if we fail, we gain valuable lessons & wisdom to evolve (caterpillar to butterfly). They say, adopt the pace of nature, it’s secret is patience.

Discovering the power of patience needs a compassionate & resilient attitude. It’s difficult, it takes practice. We have to face fears relentlessly, repeatedly. Letting go of expectations of our own timing isn’t easy. But, when we flow naturally, we trust that all will work out for the best. What’s meant for us will never pass us by – our life force, purpose or path. Stay in the moment, it’s enigmatic, enlightening & exciting.

Doors open to a creative understanding of life when we unlearn the fast-paced rhythm. When we allow space to move & breathe, we can find joy, peace & gratitude. When we rush around, we lose ourselves & a precious moment. We miss our own individual melody – experiences, feelings, thoughts, motivations & marvellousness. The practice of patience dispels any fears of inadequacy. Brings beautiful energy, appreciation & enthusiasm. Own patience as a brilliant force, a guiding light which consistently & steadily drives us forward.
