The Virtue Of Patience

The Virtue Of Patience

Often times we wonder in life why we don’t exactly have everything we want just yet. While we’re working towards the things we desire, sometimes we wish we could just fast forward life so we could have some of the things we wish for like that beautiful house, college degree, fancy car, dream job, marriage etc. While we have accomplished a lot so far, we wish we were further ahead than where we currently stand in our lives. There most certainly is nothing wrong with wanting what we desire to come soon but we have to remember to be patient.

It can be difficult to be patient but worrying about why we don’t have everything we want or why we’re not where we want to be in life yet doesn’t help the situations we are facing. If anything, we should be grateful for how much we have accomplished, looking back on where we’ve started to how far we have come with our goals and being proud but of course, still humble. We have to remember when we have setbacks regarding where we want to be or what we want to achieve, we should not let those setbacks discourage us but rather encourage us to keep working hard for our goals and dreams. 

Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Everyone and everything is a work in progress. Each day is a blank page of a chapter from the memoir of our lives and the things we want will come to us when the time is right. It is up to us to put in the efforts that fill those blank pages daily so be patient with both your goals and yourself by using all the time you have until then to prepare you for the moment when your goal or dream is achieved. Use that time to grow and to better yourself both through the struggles and the blessings that come to you along the way. When you do finally get to accomplish or achieve what you desire, you’ll be thankful for everything that it took in your journey to get you there and you’ll see how it all was worth it.
