Four Steps To Developing Patience; Jane Bolton, Psy.D., M.F.T., C.C

The Purpose of Patience
So, what's the purpose of building patience abilities? In a word, happiness. Better relationships, more success. Well worth the effort, I'd say. But effort, indeed, it takes.

We can all work to develop more patience. An important idea here is that developing patience is just that. Developing a skill. We aren't born with it. Think of a hungry infant- shrieking with all it's red-faced, rigid-bodied impatient demand for satisfaction.
After all, we can't just sit down at a piano and play it without ever learning to play and practicing, practicing, practicing.
That practicing includes 1)paying attention to when we are not patient, 2) being kind to ourselves for not being "perfect" already, and 3)changing the automatic judgmental, critical thoughts and feelings.

EXCUSE ME!… FIND YOUR BALANCE.


EXCUSE ME!… FIND YOUR BALANCE.




It is unfortunate that man is growing and becoming advanced in technology, industrialization and other aspect of civilization. Yet man is increasingly retrogressing in matters of Humanity.
Man has succeeded in growing big big bombs that will destroy humanity with the excuse of war, crises, and the slightest provocation.


However, this same man has been unable to create weapons that will foster UNITY. Bullets that will increase PEACE, tablets that will improve HONESTY and KINDESS.


Despite our modernization, people of old seem to live better, happier and loved life.
Simply because they take better decisions, they apply better knowledge based on right or wrong. This is why they know that:
No matter what you benefit from greed and dishonesty, patience and honesty is always the best. This is why they knew that good women get married faster but only wise women keep the home.


This is why good women because of one foolish mistake they destroy their homes, yet bad women keep their homes despite them, because of some wise decisions.
If you are wise and you reflect on the issues of life. You will know that a man that cannot be faithfull to his own vision, dreams or purpose. A man that cannot stand firm for his belief s and conviction cannot be faithfull to a woman, whether she is a girlfriend or wife.


Sadly we seem to be very good at selecting good materials, quality shoes and handbag. But we fail to take the right decisions.
Sometimes we lose the little best we have because of the extra big we are expecting due to bad decision.
Life is like a market. There are always too many things to buy, but you must choose the ones you need the most and those which you can afford.

Therefore life is choice and choices are about values, and values are about perception, perception is about knowledge.
This means you must have the right and proper knowledge. Failure to do so, you are doomed to fail, Now or later.
The truth is simply, if you are wise, it is you that will benefit, if you are foolish only you will bear.

This is the burden of balance.

THE THIN LINE; CROSS AND DIE.



Every meaning and purpose in life is separated by a thin line, it divides and separates us. Like a road path, route, there are distinctive boundaries. Each of the boundaries complements the circle of our existence. Justice and truth is only realistic within the context of these boundaries. This thin line is what explains justice, what uncovers the true meaning of truth.
