The Essence of Patience ( Chapter 7 )

In this process i want to talk about the importance of patience. We have always believe and know faith will take us anywhere, and of course that is true, but there is another main feeling that we should protect all cost is PATIENCE. That word represents a lot, takes a lot, means a lot. Patience is what maintains our hope in the first place, often challenged by many situations, we live in a world where we want to know about everything and live in tomorrow, the obsession to know what is next, what is going to happen or what are we going to do in the next days, weeks, months and so, we live in a place which doesnt exist yet, but we convince ourselves that is a good idea to live there in nowhere, in a future we know nothing about yet we still wasting energy thinking about it. Here, patience is the key, since is the opposite of trying to be controlling the future, or trying to win against the real time, patience in this place is one of the most valuable characteristic we could have, practice, experience, live, feel, embrace, patience is, the key to success, and i am not talking about business, or money, or popularity, i am talking about the inner soul life success against ourselves and the consequences of failures and journeys we took or take to grow, patience is that silent best friend, the quiet one that never speaks but makes us feel we are not alone, that friend who got us while no one else does, a rare companion, that cannot be bought but earn, learn, and practice in the hardest moments of our lives and sometimes even in the most amazing ones. As patience is a forever requirement, we should have learn how to manage it or how to have it from within since an early age, education and life experiences will teach us about it a lot more than any useful advice we could receive about it. " Have patience " this is the most common phrase we have always hear, as simple and easy as it seems to say out loud like the best advice in the world, is one of the hardest things to put in practice, to have or to feel, even so, to maintain the patience required in every situation is and will always be a huge challenge for us, in any situation, because, as we grow, our patience also get wasted for not knowing when to apply it and when to stop wasting it in vain, the importance of knowing when to let go and when to continue applying patience to get where we want to be. Patience goes with so many other chracteristics of our personalities, and decisions, it is in every step of the way it is in every change, in every moment of our lives, and we already know when patience is not there, nothing goes really well or right, so we need it, we really need it, but again, do we give it the real value it has for us? Do we recognize how big this feeling is? how we suppose to train our patience? how to find the balance between too much or too little? To me, patience was, is, and will always be our biggest challenge, because in many situations we could believe we have enough, but then, life happens to us and is only there where we really find what level of patience we manage to have. Im glad to discover the real value of it, yet, i have to learn a lot about it, as for today, all i can say is, that im definitely on my way.
