The Pros of Patience and Being Selfish

January 17, 2014 by R. Mordant Mahon

“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.”

Grow the Good

June 7, 2013 by R. Mordant Mahon

Why is it you allow yourself to get caught up with the things you say you do not want in your life?  You focus on your problems, knowing full well what you focus on grows and grows and grows…Your blood pressure skyrockets and your stomach bleeds fresh ulcers as you wring your hands in consternation.  What’s up with that?!

Wouldn’t it be better to fix your attention on those things you want?  Whether it’s to Be, Do, Have—whatever it is you desire—shouldn’t you be fixated on that?  Even a little bit?  And, since you’re co-creating your world by putting your conscious and subconscious thoughts in gear, shouldn’t you put more effort into training your brain to lean towards the positive?  If that is the way the Universe works (it is), then why-oh-why are you wasting your time mainlining negative drama?  If you’re going to be addicted to something, then shouldn’t it be something that lets you off at a much brighter place than the spot where you began this ride?
