A LIFESTYLE OF PATIENCE
A LIFESTYLE OF PATIENCE
Good day CYMI Family, I hope the New Year is treating us well, as we play our own part towards making the best out of the year. In order for us to make the best out of the year 2022, we need to work and walk-in patience that is derived from working, hoping, believing, thankfulness, self-development, faith, and seeing beyond what we may be going through, while we trust God for the best as we have asked in prayer.
A popular quotes state and I quote:
“Patience is not simply the ability to wait, it’s how you behave while waiting”.
I always tell people that patience is a virtue, which means patience is strength while you wait. When you build your patience, it helps you become at peace with yourself and God while you hope for what you are praying for and expecting from God or friends and family.
HOW TO DEVELOP YOUR PATIENCE WHILE YOU WAIT.
- Trust the promises of God than what you see.
Trust that God will help you achieve what you are praying and hoping for while you wait.
- Make Yourself Wait.
The best way to practice patience is to make yourself wait.
- Stop Doing Things That Aren’t Important.
We all have things in our lives that take time away from what is important. One way of removing stress from our lives is to stop doing those things.
- Be Mindful of the Things Making You Impatient
Most people have several tasks in their heads, and they jump from thought to thought without taking the time to finish one task first.
- Relax and Take Deep Breaths
Most of all, just relax and take deep breaths. Taking slow deep breaths can help calm the mind and body, while you meditate and be thankful for what you have achieved.
Note: Patience is bitter, but its fruits are sweet, when patience becomes part of one’s character, you find yourself living a life of peace, joy, comfort, success, and understanding that is unspeakable.
In everything you do make sure you try your best to be patient with yourself as you work, hope, and pray, things may not come when you expect sometimes but when you wait for it and it comes at the right time, you will be glad you did because it will come with understanding on how to sustain your achievement and success on the long run.
Prayer: I pray God will give each and every one of us the grace to be patient while we hope and work for the best in the year 2022 and years ahead.
