Two Patience Affirmations for Sunday November 20, 2022

Good Sunday to you, my friends!

There’s an old saying that patience is a virtue. Our modern world is not a very patient place. “The faster the better.” “Ready, fire, aim.” “Give it to me now or don’t give it to me at all.

We always have a fear of missing out (FOMO), if we wait and let things take their course. Obviously, there are times when you need to be proactive, even assertive to achieve. However, there are also times when patience will do just fine – even better – than the huff and puff of hurry.

The affirmations in this quick one-minute video remind you of that virtue and the power it has to deliver in your life without so much angst. For best results, take advantage of YouTube’s automatic repetition of YouTube shorts to repeat these affirmations and really infuse your mind.

Before you know it, you’ll be on that “road less traveled” and reaping the quiet rewards of a little patience.

Be who you came here to be. The world needs it more than ever.

Practice Patience – Day 4 of 365 Days to a Better You

The Serenity Prayer

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Patience, they say, is a virtue. It’s a virtue in short supply in our society today. It’s not because we’re all evil or selfish. It’s just that we’re always in a hurry. Running from one thing to the next and working to be productive little bees, we have a short fuse for things that hold us up.

You see this in the form of honked horns, people yelling at retail clerks or waiters, and, in extreme cases, road rage. People can literally lose their minds because some has the audacity to slow them down. Has this ever been you? I’m sad to say it has, on occasion, been me.

Here’s my challenge to you on Day 4. Take a breath. Breathe in, breathe out, and relax. In whatever ways present themselves today, let the other person go ahead of you. If someone honks at you, take a breath, smile, and see how they’re being driven by this same crazy force that’s driving all of us.

Demonstrate some patience today. You might like enough to make it a new habit doing its part of make you a better you. If you’re lucky, you may touch on something even deeper than conscious patience…serenity.

Peace out and chill out, my friends! Have an awesome and patient day. Share your experiences in the comments below.

You’re AWESOME!
