PICTURE: PEXELS/ PATIENCE
It might be challenging to accept the idea of slowing down in a world where everything seems to be moving quickly—instant responses, instant gratification, and never-ending hustle.
Waiting is frequently perceived as an annoyance and a barrier that prevents us from achieving our goals. However, what if finding peace amid waiting is the real test of patience rather than just enduring it? What if the key to living a more contented, conscious life is waiting?
Think of those quiet moments when it seems like forever—waiting for a plane to take off, for your coffee to brew in the morning, or for a significant decision to be made. These breaks in our hectic schedules may seem like annoying dead time, but they’re a chance to take stock, think, and refocus.
The Art of Meditation describes patience as the ability to tolerate and be forgiving, to let things happen when they happen, is the trait of patience. It satisfies our increasing demand for immediate satisfaction. There are things in life that we must patiently strive for. Just because we want something doesn’t mean we’ll always get it. Many issues that come up in life will not be handled right away; they require patience, perseverance, forbearance, and perseverance. These unplanned events frequently end up being the most priceless presents.
Psychology Today claims that one major barrier to meaningful life transformation is the “impatient” culture, which is propelled by fast satisfaction and easy access to technology. This culture is frequently characterized by views and ideas that life is unchanging, impossible, or takes an eternity. Lack of patience frequently results in emotions of failure and giving up since it makes it difficult to make the required changes.
