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.?

It is like being in a battle & not having the right weapons to fight.?

Slowly I started to work on all the P's.?

My Passion of writing led to the Purpose of making a difference. I followed DOTS (Do One Thing Surely). All the other P's started to happen.?

One of the the most important P's is Patience

"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??
