Patience. Patience. Patience

Have a little patience. It goes a long way. Remember, “Everything happens in its time” may be a great maxim to live by, but while entrenched in the midst of the frenzy of life it can be challenging and daunting to recall such a prized motto with ease.

Disappointment and absence of patience often stem from our lack of understanding that the journey, the process, and the seemingly tough times are indications of failure.

While one may master the ability to extend patience to the outer world, it’s our ability to grant such a coveted prize to oneself that indicates the ultimate understanding of the importance of patience.

Live in the Moment

The first step is the hardest; don’t be discouraged if this doesn’t run as smoothly as you anticipated. Nothing gets transformed overnight. Your efforts may not be realized today, but they are needed today to have a lasting impact on tomorrow.

Focus on now, your current moment.

Simply Hang On

A tree is uninterested in the word “impossible” recognizing that its greatest power comes from the inside out.

It may appear weak and nimble to the onlooker, but deep beneath the surface it grows, it strengthens, it builds, preparing itself for the unexpected delay when it will emerge and rise above all those who bet against it, who questioned its endurance.

Push yourself to hang on a little longer. There is always light at the end of the tunnel, and you will make it there eventually. Don't give up, stay strong and keep fighting - you never know what good could come out of it!
