“The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it.” – Arnold H Glasow
How patient or impatient are we?
Every day, I notice our tolerance being challenged. And unfortunately, impatience has become a discouraging and growing trend.
Let’s take a look at ourselves. Where did our impatience originate? What was the cause? Was it the impact of negative experiences that started early on in our lives? Perhaps, we had doubts about the unknowns, whether tangible or intangible, where we were offered no explanation? Or could it be uncertainties about ourselves and our future?
Is impatience a sign everything has to be done, at the moment? Is this normal behavior?
Being patient leads to calmness clearing the way to forward-thinking. Makes sense to me, what are your thoughts? If there’s the impression you take too long to make decisions, maybe it’s because you are certain there will be more positive results by completing tasks in a more appropriate and well-timed manner.
I prefer the aura of certainty because it sure beats the feeling of uncertainty. My two cents.

A gander at me – enjoying a dedicated career in the insurance industry for over 20 years, being rewarded both professionally and personally, I am now fulfilling my dreams. My writing and creative endeavors can be found on my blogs, Eugi’s Causerie and Eclectic Brew. I have authored eBooks Fanciful Delights, Mama, me, and Mother Nature, Life’s Spilled Coffee, and also have writings at Spillwords, PoetrySoup, beBee, and including several Anthologies.
I admit I am impatient. I make decisions in a hurry and sometimes not the right ones.

You and me both, Sadje! I’m a little more patient as I get older in some ways but not others. Thank you for commenting.

I have patience with some things and not with others. In the middle of the night, when questions plague me, patience is often sleeping.
