Everyone has heard the phrase: “Good things comes to those who wait”, yet I don’t agree with it completely. Patience indeed is a great virtue to have but I think there is a specific type of patience that can really help you: the active patience.

Being patient just for the sake of patience doesn’t equals to achieving what you want in life. Instead practicing the active patience means that you are moving fast on the day to day activities but you are enjoying the present so much that you don’t get anxious about the future. You are confident that good things are coming and your patient comes from knowing that.

Active patience is present in the fisherman who fully prepares himself before throwing the bait then, once he puts the bait on the water he actually enjoys the process of being there. That is way he is patient.

Move fast, work hard and enjoy the moment. Be patient about the future because you are too happy on the present.

Thanks for your time.
