How to be more patient
It made me
At peace with life
 "Ones level of patience is directly linked to the love they have with their present moment & or situation. "
How I did it: I came to terms with the fact that people are people and situations are just that a situation that will eventually pass--good or bad. So I learned to focus on the good ones and tell the bad ones "good-bye because I'm about to turn you into a good one right now!" and just like that I decide to change my attitude. Does it work?? As long as I don't let myself go all the way down the rabbit hole it does! Lessons & tips: Remember that you have probably caused a lot of other people to feel impatient at one point in time or another, so at least you can rest assured you're not alone. Resources: I would recommend the documentary "What the Bleep do we know" don't let the title fool you, it's about the science of outer space and how it correlates to our inner space.

How I did it: I know I just added this goal to my list, but its actually been something that I was struggling with for a while. I think a lot of it was because I was allowing people to stay in my life who were draining a lot of my energy. And then on top of that I was making decisions based on what other people wanted. It really just got to the point where I knew I couldn't do it anymore. I really had to look hard at what I was doing to realize that I… Read how I did it…

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?

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…

I thought I had this goal down to a science at one point. I developed alot of patience my first two years of college. I just kept telling myself, worry will not make it come any faster, and for awhile that worked, but OMG!!! That pep talk no longer works. My lack of patience has cost me to curse constantly, not trust and not have faith in all areas

I have been under a lot of stress lately, and so my mood sometimes goes from 0-60 in the blink of an eye. I’ll keep trying to keep my patience. It’s hard, and I think de-stressing is key to being successful with this goal.
