I had the wrong Passion in life.?
I lacked the right Purpose.?
My Progress was slow.?
I also lacked Perseverance & gave up easily.?
My Persistence was wavering.?
I was also lazy, disliked Perspiration, wanted it easy.?
The result was an average life.?
But the only thing I had was Patience (timing)?
Some may call it luck.?
I knew when the time was right.?
But even if I had the Patience. I realized soon enough we need all the other 6P's to do something meaningful.?

"You lack Patience"
I got this feedback from my colleague a few years ago, it hit me & got me thinking why??
I had patience when it comes to long term but in the short term, I lack patience. I could do the same thing for years before giving up. But in the moment, I struggle.?
There were 4 reasons why:?
1. Greed: Probably the most important reason for impatience is greed. When we want so many things & we want it quickly.?
2. Action Bias: Patience is all about holding yourself from jumping into action. This is where I struggle, my role as an entrepreneur demands action. But probably I use this as a smart excuse.?
3. Controlling the mind: I have been working hard on controlling my mind. But the moments I allow my mind to take control I miss out.?
4. Personal power: Those who are unable to control themselves really lack personal power. Insecurity is probably the root cause. My insecurity from childhood still haunts me.?
As I reflect more as a writer, I realize I am so imperfect, I also struggle to change. This does frustrate me. But when I look back, I realize I have come a long way, this gives me hope that though my progress is slow but I have the ability to change.?
Do you also lack patience??
Where are you stuck??
Which "P" is stopping you??

2 年I owe you really for this article. It really helped me to understand a lot about my struggle which I was having some indetermination. But I just have one doubt about the progress, that is speed, when you said slow as a negative impact, I would like to remind here about the old Chinese proverb " Growing slow is not the problem, but standing still is". A confusion has been developed in my mind about this concern to frankly point out for an explanation from a greet person like you. It could help to understand the formulation of 7P's more Properly and precisely, so that the struggle will be loosen by itself as I work on the other part. Thank You friend. Hats Off to you.. Keep the good work. Many people might be relying on you. ??

2 年Persistance and Patience r 2p I was lacking from start being Gemini, I had multiple aims , things to pursue at same time. And having traders mentality to book profits immediately due to lack of passion is my main weakness till today also. If DOTs is followed definitely i will be able to change. Your posts are always benifical and practical which makes readers think. Thanks for doing this commendable work. All the best
