Patience is often praised and desired, yet seems to be nearly impossible for me to achieve. I guess I am an instant gratification person. The fear of missing out is real and the pressure to constantly be productive gives me anxiety and a sense of urgency to get things done quickly. I know that we all want to be in control of our lives, but honestly how much control do we really have? This lack of control and the uncertainty of outcomes makes it difficult to wait patiently.

Patience is often referred to as a virtue, and for good reason. It is the ability to remain calm, composed, and persistent in the face of challenges and obstacles. I’m hoping that by practicing self-awareness and mindfulness I will gradually become more patient and reap the rewards of this valuable trait.
