I look on in envy at the accomplishments of people with no greater talents and skills than mine, but who are patient enough to start something that will take time. I lack the patience to learn new skills. My impatience has caused me to make many decisions that I have regretted. If I had had the patience to gather enough information, I would have saved myself much heartache and regret. I feel that I would need a miracle to become a patient person.
Patience is one key to a magnificent life.
It is the foundation for achieving goals. Patience is the willingness to persist and persevere. Patience is needed to learn, to accomplish, to develop our character, and to interact harmoniously with other people. Chronic impatience destroys one's life. Even milder forms cause considerable pain.
