Patience Is A (Difficult) Virtue

One of the things I am worst at is being patient. When I am waiting for something to happen, or I know that something is going to happen but it hasn't yet, boy oh boy does this take over my life. I am completely aware of this character flaw that I have, and I swear I'm trying to work on it. But MAN is it hard.

I pray, I try to distract myself, I try to remind myself that things take time and not everything happens at the pace I would like it to (which is basically immediately). However, it's difficult when each day feels so long and there are people counting on you. I will continue to do the best I can and keep the faith that things will work out when they are supposed to. I just saw something that said "Both fear and faith require believing in an unseen future, but faith is the better choice because it fosters positive possibilities, trust, and growth, whereas fear creates limitations and anxiety."

I am going to try to live by that every day.
