I haven’t got a lot of patience with myself this morning. I slept in. Fighting a cold. Feeling groggy.
And I smile.
Where is patience when I most need it?
With myself. Others. The world around me.
We are all humans taking this journey of our lifetimes, learning as we go along, how to be… human.
We are born to learn. To grow. To live.
Yet sometimes, in our haste to grow up, to get to where we’re going, to remember why we’re here, we forget to be patient with ourselves and the world around us. We forget that growth comes when we settle into our hearts and ease into the grace of our spirit’s natural way of being light of heart.
Let patience be my constant companion as I travel on my journey today, learning and growing and becoming who I am when I let go of believing I need to hurry up and be someone else!
Dare Boldly 
Patience; we lack more when we need more.

Yes, it came up after reading your post.
I somehow relate it with selfishness, so I wrote https://www.abidings.com/2017/11/selfishness-and-sufferings/

I expect you’ve seen that movie – The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel – and remember Sunny’s comment, “everything will work out in the end, and if things have not yet worked out then it is not yet the end” … something we can all relate to. And your own words the other day, about trusting the process.
Trust the process, drink plenty of fluids and if things have not yet worked our and you have not yet shed your cold, then it is not yet the end …

I have Mark — a couple of times! 🙂 And yes, it’s a great quote. It’s actually originally from one of Stuart MacLean’s vinyl Cafe stories. And yup. Trusting in the process is vital. As is Astralagus to boost my immune system! 🙂
