How Patience Plays a Role in Building Lasting Success
Being patient can help your health, happiness, relationships, and goals
Over the years I have learned to be more patient. I can’t say that I’m always successful since I often want what I want yesterday. I can get frustrated waiting for something I want to happen. However, I know that often waiting can lead to a successful outcome.
They say that patience is a virtue. That may be so, but patience is the capacity to bear delays without becoming frustrated. Patience allows people to remain calm and prevent impulsive behavior when confronted with a task.
Impatience provides little benefit. Your ideas and feelings have no effect on the length of the checkout line. If you’re stuck, you might as well enjoy yourself.
Patience improves your health, happiness, relationships, and ambitions. Impatience is costly in many ways.
