Patiently Waiting

After a lot of thought, I came to the conclusion that patience is not one of my best qualities. It is something that I have definitely been trying to improve on, but am making slow progress with. One of the things that comes from my lack of patience is frustration. I become easily frustrated if things are not done as quickly as I want them to, or if something that I want to happen just isn't happening. Another area that I notice frustration is when I am expecting something to happen or I am planning something that is supposed to happen, and then all of a sudden things change quickly. I do not practice patience by any means in those areas. The past couple of weeks has taught me that I need to be working in this area. I have been around others who have shown me what it means to be patient, but then I have also been around others who have annoyed me because I felt as if they were being impatient of the dumbest things. This has taught me two different things. The first being that there is a lot of room for me to grow in the area of patience. The second being that I need to work on the frustrations. Just because someone else is being impatient with something that I feel is unimportant does not mean that it is not something that is of importance to them. Rather than becoming frustrated and lacking patience, I can step back and evaluate the situation instead.
