Patience

Learning patience can be a difficult experience, but once conquered you will find life is easier

Patience is not a word to understand its phenomena to learn and follow. Everything is bound to time and we can only rush the process, not the Time considering this Patience is the best tool we have to be happy. 

But again being the most evolved species in this cosmos we are so obsessed with our illusionary intellect, we try to have things at finger snap and when things didn't work according to our expectations we lose patience. Having patience means being able to wait calmly in the face of frustration or adversity under the clouds and hope for the sunshine. We are so blessed to practice Patience anywhere or nearly everywhere i.e.at home with our kids, at work with our colleagues, at the grocery store with half our city’s population, on the road with full of impatience people. Patience can make the difference between annoyance and equanimity, between worry and tranquility.

It’s often exhibited behind closed doors, not on a public stage: A father telling a third bedtime story to his son, a dancer waiting for her injury to heal, 133 cr Indian waiting for another World Cup, an employee waiting for appraisal.

In public, it’s the impatient ones who grab all our attention: drivers honking in traffic, grumbling customers in slow-moving lines. We have epic movies exalting the virtues of courage and compassion, but a movie about patience might be a bit of a snoozer. Good things do come to those who wait.
