Have attitude like Gandhi. Live your dream like MLK. Think with your senses. Feel with your mind.
Sensing what you value is how to think different. It’s good judgment.
“The hope of a secure and livable world lies with the disciplined non-conformists who are dedicated to Justice, Peace and Brotherhood” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
Patience is never an option.
It’s always a reality check.
The opposite of patience is frustration. Frustration is a rut. Being impatient is being in a rut.
The impact on life is just like procrastination. Both are ways of being out of step with good timing and good luck.
Everybody needs good luck.
Patience is the only way to live your dream.
Three Ways of Patience
With Yourself
- Patience with yourself is personal loyalty. It’s respect – the foundation of every worthwhile relationship.
- Being impatient with yourself is always self-defeating.
- Worse, when you are not patient with yourself, social relationships don’t last.
- People who are impatient with themselves make narrow-minded choices in social situations that appear to be selfish or arrogant, and alienate others. That’s why ‘things’ don’t work out.
- Find patience for your heart and mind. If you don’t give it to yourself, nobody will.
With Timing
- Patience with others has its priorities. These include dignity, self-respect and compassion. People who do this well are our heroes, like Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi. These patient fighters used patience as personal power. So can you.
- This is not about what you do; it’s about how you do it.
- Patience with others means acknowledging differences. No and yes are equally important for staying in tune with patience and your goals.
- It is not ‘turning the other cheek” while someone hits you. You can be angry and be dignified.
- If someone pushes your buttons and is disrespectful, sometimes it’s best to just say, good-bye. The only person you can change is yourself. Stand tall, talk softly and use eye contact to make your point.
‘Life is like an elevator. On your way up, sometimes you have to stop and let some people off.’ ~ anon
Patience is an intuitive reality check. Experience reality. Be a sensual thinker.
