“The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it open.”
- Arnold Glasgow
Have you ever thought that our lives are made up of a series of activities and you need to streamline those activities in order to strike a balance and lead a stable life? How many times have you heard people around us or even our very own self say I don't have enough time? I need things to happen just this very moment. I'm losing my patience... You are always in the stretch to get everything done by the end of the day. All those ASAP notifications and deadlines that are set for you. Why do you think they are called so? How many times have you let them take a toll on you??
Being mindful of all the pressure that keeps building on you leads only to two major consequences Impatience and Anger wherein you never think of the environment around you or the people around. The fire and hatred within you keeps building which ends up burning all the good in you and puts an end to many a relationships at work and home. The best way to overcome this is to take a step back and bring a Pause between yourself and your negative feelings. This creates clarity and brings about the required patience within you. In that pause that you give you can release the inner turmoil and see ways to overcome unskillful actions. If you ever wondered why your grandparents or elders at home had asked you to count numbers when you were at the peak of rage.. well it was to give yourself a pause for self realization and regain some patience!! It's better to learn it in the easier way rather than learning it after a bad experience. . .
What are your frequent choices?? All those situations that come up to you every day. What do you choose to feel - when things get delayed, when they don't give you what you wanted , when no one understand , when someone irritates you.
What do you choose to feel ?

Just Pause !!

and you know what comes next :-)
Just wanted to share this thought with you, something that has helped me a lot in the recent times my friend " The benefits of developing greater patience will be felt in all our relationships—intimate, casual, and professional—as well as that all-important relationship, the one we have with ourselves."
