Patience

Just where has all the patience gone in today's society?  I'll tell you a few places you can find it . . .

1) Hanging with your friends having a beer.
2) Shopping in the store to your hearts content.
3) Getting your bills in the mail.
4) Watching a great movie.
5) Putting off doing something for others.

Here are a few places patience is needed but seldom had.

1) The check out line after you've shopped to your hearts content.
2) Traffic.
3) Waiting in line to buy tickets, order food, etc.
4) When your ability to move forward relies on someone else doing something.
5) A cell phone text response to your inquiry.
 
Patience is double sided - on the one hand, you get angry when you are the one waiting.  On the other hand, you get angry when your doing all you can to accommodate a situation, but you get the blame for their impatience.

Can't win.

New Years Resolution ??

Have a New Years Resolution?  I do not. And here is why - In my book, there is no such thing as a New Years Resolution - I either do it, or I don't bother. Waiting until the clock strikes midnight on December 31 simply gives one an excuse to postpone what one does not really want to do.  And then only to blow it off as the new year's fad that it is.

Resolutions require two bold moves that can happen at any point in the year - 1) the tenacity to START, and 2) the COMMITMENT to follow through.

Don't wait until next year! Make it a part of your life in the moment!
