Why Patience is Power | Priceless Benefits of Being Patient

"Impatience is the unwillingness to live life at the pace that it actually happens." Wow, great quote!

The more patient I am, the faster I get the things I want. Things always take longer when I'm impatient.

I always tell people "do it the slow way, it's faster" then get confused expressions...

When the plane is delayed, when my work doesn't immediately bear fruit, when I'm stuck in traffic late for a meeting, I become aware of the knot growing in my gut and release that rising tension by taking a deep breath and laughing at my own expectation that the world should bend to my convenience ("It figures. Haha!"). Especially when I remember that so many others have been also waiting for opportunities I received long ago. I count my blessings and say to myself, "Everything is exactly the way it's supposed to be. It can't be otherwise." I also recognize this is the benefit of age and having achieved half of my goals. I can AFFORD to be more patient than a young person.

As we get older we become more patient. As we run out of time we slow down because we learned that impatience doesn't work. It doesn't make anything happen any faster.

Man, without your videos I probably would have died a long time ago. Thank you so much for these gems! ❤️

I took an art class at a community college several years ago. There was one student from whom I learned so much. We would both stay after class to work on our projects. He would patiently sit with his materials until the understanding of what he would do with them came to his mind. Sometimes he would sit for hours in patient silence. His 3-D creations were always my favorite.

"Time is the greatest vengeance." someone once told me when a couple of people wronged me and I wanted revenge. That same person said to me. "Do nothing. Just sit and wait patiently. Time will bring your revenge. Just wait". Turns out that two years later, he was right. Probably not what Budda had in mind being him against revenge and negative feelings but karma trully is a thing

When you do nothing you don't distrub anything and everything becomes clearer and calmer. So just sit still and watch what happens. Watch what ever comes up even thoughts and feelings and don't interact with it in anyway.

When I get impatient I remind myself that life has no meaning or purpose so there isn't anything to rush to, I can fulfill my life purpose with just being miserable where I am now.

Patience is bitter but it's results are sweet.

"But the muddiest water clears as it is stilled, and out of that stillness life arises." Lao Tzu

As a person groomed to be impatient, this resonates with me. Thank you. Your videos are always top notch.

“By having patience with people we not only neutralize their power to disturb our peace of mind but we also accept their flaws and thus their humanity.”

I used to rush to work (speed). I was always angry while doing so, cussing out other drivers as well as stop lights...these things thwarted me from getting to work, doncha know? I'd be stressed and in a bad mood when I got to work, thinking the worse of co workers, and continuing the impatience. Needless to say, I wasn't happy. Then I started practicing mindfulness and decided to drive that way. Wow, what a difference! I go no more than a couple miles above the speed limit, stop lights are now opportunities to breathe...and what I found is I got to work in about the same amount of time, but no stress, no anger. I'm still working on being more patient, but the experiences I've had with it show me that while it can be difficult cultivating this, the effort really does pay off.

Having patience is so important. And yet, difficult to achieve at times.

Patience is powerful. It can help us persevere, reduce stress, and overcome challenges. Patience may be a virtue, but it's something I often find challenging.

this couldn't be more timely. i'm currently in a huge slump in my life and my amazing gf has constantly reminded me to stay patient and things will clear up and work out in the end. there's nothing i can do about my current situation but to just enjoy life in the present moment. ^__^

In the end we are always rewarded for our good will, our patience, fairmindedness, and gentleness with what is strange; gradually, it sheds its veil and turns out to be a new and indescribable beauty

When it comes to increasing tolerance for others, I'm reminded of the Ojibwa Native American proverb: "There is no tree with branches so foolish as to fight amongst themselves.". Another timely video!✌🎋
