To really grasp patience.

At first one may think it is just about taking things slow, waiting for something to pass. To look forward towards brighter days.

But is that what this word really means? Is it about just waiting?

That seems to be the first step.

Grasping the feeling of patience may be just believing in the light at the end of the tunnel.

But to see it on a deeper level…

To live in complete patience…

Isn’t that the goal?

The next step…

To LIVE patiently.

Although it is necessary to believe in the end result, it cannot satisfy forever.

There must be more…

Finding joy and love in what is right in front of you.

To be able to go through a challenging change or time in life and not say “I can’t wait for this” or “I can’t wait for that.”

But, to be so grounded that through any difficult time you can find peace and love in the moment.

You can’t just wait for the future and be miserable believing in “better days.” Because when they arrive you find yourself waiting for the next set of “better days.”

You become restless just waiting and waiting for more and more.

Patience is the everyday self and loving it more than the past and more than the future.

Patience tells us all we know right now, is now.
