Patience

Patience! Patience!! Patience!!!

Everyone wants to get there fast,
Everyone is looking for shortcuts
Not  everyone is willing to take the long road,
Not everyone is PATIENT.

Patience is the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems or sufferings without becoming annoyed or anxious. 
According to this definition, patience is measurable and it is a measure of being patient. That's why the question "How much patience can you have?" is being asked. Patience is like a payment made for a great reward, although it cannot be paid halfly, it must be paid fully. For example, if I am to travel a 2km distant road, my patience for just 1km ain't gonna get me to the end of that road, I need to be patience for the whole 2km.

The flesh of man never wants to be stressed, it wants to get there easily and fast but it only takes the braveness of the spirit and mind to convince the thoughts of this flesh to work hard, be determined and have patience.
Patience is no respecter of your age, status or qualifications even if you are at your worst condition and truthfully if patience was to be a man, he would have been brided but unfortunately patience is invisible and therefore cannot be brided which means, it doesn't even respect money. It only respect your time and wants you to obey it's principles because everyone has the time to be patient but not everyone has the patience to time. Nadia Comaneci said:

You can't jump from little things to big things, it just takes time and patience.

In almost every thing we do, patience is involved, It takes patience to wait to collect your money during withdrawal from the ATM and so many examples. But we also engage ourselves in some activities that will take very very long time to be accomplished and this is where the real patience is needed.
In as much as this seems true, then impatience isn't just bestowed on a person,

there are conditions and situations triggering it.



 Let's review just three of them all:

• Desire to get there fast

No matter the position we find ourselves in, be it high or low, we still don't wanna remain there, we want to go higher. And the joy of getting there gingers our mind to do anything to be there as fast as possible simultaneously killing our patience.

The feeling most times is to get there faster than anyone forgetting that slow and steady wins the race.

• Peer group influence

A lot of young people are being intimidated by the levels at which their peers are and they also what to be like them,

it's a good feeling but it can make such a person to do anything good or bad to also be like them and therefore triggers our impatience, looking for shortcuts here and there.

• Critical conditions

I see this as the only reasonable reason people are being impatience. Some people are in some kind of critical situations and they need help, they can do anything good or bad to get help. There's always a sensation within them that they are running outta time, yes they are truly running out of time but then they become inpatient and might sometimes lead them to the wrong source of help.

And whether we like it or not, the only solution to all these is being PATIENT, but "being patient doesn't permits a man to rebel against hardship."

Patience only rewards those who have being hardworking and determined. Patience will only punish a lazy man who is full of fantasies. Jean-jacques Rousseau said:

Patience is bitter, but it's fruit is sweet.

A farmer who suffered to plant seeds on his plot of land waiting for a whole year for it to germinate together with watering and taking care of the farm will surely enjoy his fruits when it germinates. So it might not be going on so well at moment but when you keep working and exercise patience, the result is gonna be great.

Life has a lot to offer but it takes patience and hardwork to discover what's originally yours. , then be PATIENT!!!

No matter how long the queue is, it will still be your turn
There's a lot to discover when you are patient but there's only little you can discover when you are not patient. In my life, I have come to an understanding that patience is no punishment at all, its painful but it's result is worth more than the pain.

What else can you do for a man who is no respecter of anybody other than to obey and follow his principles to get what you want? Thats how patience operates, follow its principles to get what  you want!
Listen to this points:

• Patience is like seating at the very top observing and taking note of every action happening beneath. 
• Patience allows you to prepare well of whatever is ahead of you.
• Patience together with hardwork is a big step of being successful in life.
• Patience gives you a clear and wide view of your future.
• Patience is not time wasting, it's a privilege to wait, workhard, acquire enough informations and skills to prepare for a task.

When I wrote all these, then I said to myself:
"When I am patient, I am privileged to learn from others mistakes but when I am not patient and I fail, I become a lesson for others to learn."
Jean de la bruyere said:

There is no road too long to the man who advanced deliberately and without undue haste, there are no honours too distant to the man who prepares himself for them with patience.

Awesome quote, now we can see that patience is not just to wait, it's to work, wait and prepare for a task.

Note:

I still want it fresh in our heads that patience cannot work alone, it works together with hardwork.

Patience for a lazy man will only lead to his destructions and now the key point is this

"While exercising patience, work hard and find something tangible doing.

Be patient!!!
