Tolerance 2 months ago

I guess tolerance is the keyword to be patient. You need to comprehend the others flaws, deal and accept it. It is not easy, but we have to try, and then, based on the assumption that we have to bear somethings from others, we will be more able to control our patience.

Regarding the little things of the routine that take away our patience, we should try not make them a big deal, otherwise, it will stress us out and it isn’t worth it.

“Ones level of patience is directly linked to the love they have with their present moment & or situation.”



im trying to teach myself this more everyday 7 months ago

I really have a problem with this. In my excitement about new things I sometimes find myself sounding more impatient than I am by wanting more. I’m learning that you sometimes have to let things happen and enjoy the journey. Because that’s what its all about in the end right?

Be More Patient 8 months ago

I find myself getting annoyed with people and little things.I think if I learn to slow and just live it would help more.

Tonight, sitting in Barcelona Spain, I´m irritated and cranky.

Sometimes, I have zero patience. Traveling in a group is wearing on me. Two weekends from now I´m going shopping in Florence ALONE just because it´s driving me crazy. I´m always waiting on someone. I hate making people wait on me and rarely do for very long. I don´t understand why others can´t have the same consideration most of the time.

I read a quote a few months ago when I was looking for inspiration as far as patience goes. To paraphrase it said something like patience is not weakness, it´s concentrated strength… And that couldn´t be more true to me. It takes a lot of energy for me to be patient.

I know, really, it´s probably just learning to concentrate on the right things. I´m pretty good at daydreaming when I´m bored, but sometimes I just want to say, ´Okay, Erin needs to spend some time on herself.´ My example is that today, all I wanted to do was look for clothes. Buy a couple of short sleeved shirts since I didn´t bring any with me, and search for a dress, maybe a skirt. But you know what I did? I waited on one of my friends as she insisted on going into jewelry store after jewelry store to buy nothing. It also resulted in me buying nothing. I was just… irritated.

I don´t typically argue or fight with people, particularly friends. I´m a very chill person about stuff. But you can only walk on me so many times before I lose it. I just… want to be treated with the same respect. It makes me so angry when I have to do something that´s never returned.

sigh So… here I sit wondering why I can´t be more patient with people, particularly the people I´m traveling with right now. Is it my fault for not speaking up before I´m bothered or is it theirs for not recognizing my patience with them and abusing it? I don´t know…
