The Pros of Patience and Being Selfish

by

“Have patience with all things, but, first of all with yourself.”

~Saint Francis de Sales~

Sitting in an office chair in the backyard of my friend EJ’s house, and my thoughts turn trippingly towards Patience.   Not your run-of-the-mill, garden-variety, patience-is-a-virtue Patience either.  Nope.

Not for today.

Not for you.

For you I save the good stuff.  The stuff that runs a little deeper.  More personal.

I want to discuss having patience with yourself and your process.  Cutting yourself some slack as you begin or continue on your path towards self-actualization.  It’s easy to pinpoint what needs doing when you think about patience with everyone outside your personal bubble.  There are steps you can take to ease the pain of their annoying stimuli, no matter how much they are exasperating you at present.  If all else fails—the smiling, the prayer, the counting to 10—you can always up and walk away.  Any of these techniques are done simply enough and your world is set back in balance—if you put forth the effort it takes to keep everything flowing “merrily, merrily down the stream.”
