Patience is a virtue, a valued gift. Patience is described as the ability to tolerate or accept delay, trouble or suffering without getting angry or upset. Most of us are not born with the ability to utilize patience in all aspects of our life. It is a learned process.
When I was told that I would be writing on patience this week, my 1st instinct was “Yipes!” I think most of us can relate to that feeling. Patience is born of compassion and universal understanding. As a compassionate person, I have always been quite patient with my clients, their pets, and people in general. But there are always those exceptions. I have had difficulty learning patience when people simply do not try or when I felt they were trying to block my way forward. My biggest challenge, as a type A individual, was in the wait for things to happen. I always wanted to jump ahead and take control. I’ve had many lessons with exponential growth in patience throughout my spiritual walk as a mother, doctor, minister and teacher.
So, why is patience so critical to our growth and spiritual awakening? We live in a universe governed by laws. We live in a world of creation, experience and growth. We are not alone in the school of life, but are very supported in our journey. We are learning to become aware of ourselves, what we are creating in our life energetically and universal principles that govern. When we are not patient and react to life, chaos ensues, the Law of Cause and Effect comes back to set the record right. The Law of Attraction, draws people that are not patient with us. But most importantly, is that in the energy of Co-creating with God, we must learn to wait for the universe to present the perfect opportunities and outer support. This comes through experience and ultimately trust as we see it working in our lives over and over.
We are all currently undergoing a world lesson in patience. Some will grow as they look to the good of the whole. It begins with conscious choice. Patience…it is not just about what we do, but how we do it or the energy behind it. This week lets choose to be aware of our patience. Remember, you are spirit. You know patience. Breathe, meditate and call it forth.
