Patience...
12 months ago
Where can I get some of that? ~ Seriously. I am deficient.
Well, not in all aspects (so there must be hope) I actually have all the patience in the world when dealing with elderly people. (Because I see a refelction of my beloved grandma in them ~ She is the best-est!)
But, for the most part, I have no patience whatsoever.
Why? Why?
I think that’s one of the biggest lessons I have to learn in this lifetime.
There’s so much potential in conquering this lesson: I can postitively affect all my interpersonal relationships and let me advance in my job as well.
Now, how do I go about this?

I want to have equanimity in my life. Equanimity is supossedly essential in achieving inner peace. If so, why do so few of us have it? Why is it so difficult to achive? All I know is that I very much admire people that project equanimity.
I used to think that someone could “exude” equanimity. But by definition, equanimity is understated and unspoken. Someone just has it, there’s no sense in exuding it, I suposse.
I want to talk less and listen more (really listen) not just wait my turn. (but that would be a good start, right?)
I want to have a genuine, pleasant disposition that derives from a feeling of well being and inner peace: there’s no point in being saccharin sweet when that is not a true reflection of how we truly feel about our lives ~ that’s just exhausting!
And there’s no point in being bitter either, because that’s contagious and Who wants to be around that?
I want to be able to contemplate and appreciate rather than quickly either “love”, “hate” and then dismiss (things, people, opportunities etc…)

Most of all, I want to accept whatever situation I am in with grace and always make the best and be grateful of what I have.
