Patience: the art of waiting

Patience is not one of the things that our society cultivates the most today, being impatient, however, is something that brings us suffering and dissatisfaction, because it does not allow us to enjoy it because we always think about the future and, when it happens. , there are few occasions when that is enough, because we continue to think about the future, in the future.

Patience is a necessary attitude to live the here and now, to enjoy the present moment, to live it, to feel it and to be aware of the time in which we find ourselves, for this we must cultivate the attitudes that make us present. the moment we live.

  • Is time money? is a motto that tells us that we don’t have time to waste.
  • It seems that we were programmed to do and do and do.
  • Without allowing us to stop at any time.
  • Because if we waste time.
  • We lose money.
  • We live at a frenetic pace.
  • Overcoming the limits of our body and our health.

This dynamic is becoming something that destroys us, because we cannot accelerate the rhythm of life, we cannot manipulate time, even if we want to go faster and faster, everything has its own rhythm, and that is why we live frustrated and suffering for everything. we have not yet succeeded, rather than taking advantage of what is already within our reach.

We can’t wait, they just taught us to run, to live stressed and with deadlines and deadlines all marked, so we don’t have time to wait or reflect on a decision, about a result, we want everything to be quick even if that means missing a great opportunity for our lives or making a big mistake.

Can’t we wait till tomorrow, go home or even see someone?Everything around us indicates that we have to solve everything now and we’ve finally done yesterday’s thing, unexpectedly. , to get rid of the anguish that is taking over this dynamic.

We talk or send messages as we walk, we do it even when we have coffee with someone else because they have not taught us to wait and technology makes everything even easier, at every moment we communicate, located before others, without having a moment when we are alone, absent from the world and the world absent from us. We believe that tomorrow we can move forward, and what is happening is actually the loss of the present.

Society cultivates impatience, the frantic rhythm, the stress that one lets go without realizing all the consequences, until they scream. At some point, the feeling of not having lived for us, for us, invades us, because perhaps we are always turned to us. the other, to the system, to work and not to the inside.

In addition, we suffer the physical and mental consequences of not knowing how to wait. Personal and interpersonal diseases and conflicts arise, as not everything is how we want it to be and often others cannot collaborate to do everything yet.

However, we can live patiently, know how to expect things to happen in a more natural way, without forcing them, without pressure and, on many occasions, without even looking for them. Dawn comes every day, and for that we have nothing to do, just enjoy the moment and, until it happens, we will enjoy the rest of the things we already have and all the others that we quickly forget for other overlapping desires.

To cultivate patience it is necessary to slow down, concentrate on the present and live it consciously, maintaining the security and tranquility that there will be a future no matter what we do, and that all we can do is fill the present with good positive attitudes.

Patience allows us to live life at all times, we turn things on, we keep moving forward and following life, all adjusting to the moment, to the rhythm of the music, is it not to want it to be otherwise? But to know. how to wait and stay calm, so that things only happen when they have to.

“Is patience a tree of bitter roots, but with sweet fruits?- Persian Proverb

Letting things flow doesn’t mean “sitting and watching life go by. “Launching alive means we make decisions and with them we also make waivers, we design a tour as if it were leading a path on a map to be traveled. And we walk at the healthy pace we need, that is, calmly, without pretending to reach the end in a single day, it’s not about standing still, it’s about walking at a healthy pace.

To be patient is to know how to wait for the opportunities that arise, it is also to know how to enjoy them in the present moment when they occur, before or after, to be patient is to observe life and learn that sets its pace. and that this rhythm is the healthiest.
