“Rome wasn’t built in a day, but they worked on it everyday .” – Unknown
Everyday we live in constant desire to want more and more and more. Living in the age of social media we are constantly comparing what we have to others. Wondering when will we get that life? When will we be that successful and happy? These lingering questions leave us disrupted in our progress. It’s becomes harder to see the big picture when it’s not in front of us. It’s a cycle of burnout , self-sabotage, & incompletion. The mentality of gratitude and patiences is a cycle of rejuvenation that promotes progression in our lives.
We all go through similar feelings. Mainly, the overwhelming illusion as if you’re running out of time or the pressure to do more than your doing because it’s not reaping the benefits quick enough. Ask yourself ,”maybe what I’m asking for isn’t meant to be fast”. Society has this myth that success happens overnight and you have to be perfect or lucky to reach it. In reality, all of your idols took time and detail to build the foundation that they have . Everything you’re doing is exactly where you’re supposed to be. Success can not come into alignment before you’re ready.
Patience is a skill not an inherent trait. It’s the base of every good habit. It brings in relaxation instead of self-sabotage. The present moment can embrace you through patience even when you run into disappointments and worry. To slow down your mind and focus on the progress you’ve made instead of what you haven’t allows you to sit back and congratulate yourself. Be proud of what you’ve done, so you can encourage yourself to go further.
Some ways to practice patience and bring peace into your life is by :
- Stop! Drop! and Think!
- Remind yourself of your accomplishments
- Discover where this impatient energy is coming from inside
