Learning ‘Patience’

My son is 8 months now, he is growing faster than I imagined. Watching him grow at this pace makes me feel older each day and the 2 strands of grey hair on my head is really driving me crazy. Well I realize life goes on at its pace, it’s exciting to watch my son grow and see things change.

I want to stay happy each day, past is gone, future is in Gods hand. To stay happy today, the most important thing for me is to be more patient and not become anxious about what’s coming next.

I love this quote by Rainer Maria ..

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions”

Getting impatient doesn’t really solve anything and at the end we all learn to settle with whatever happens in life. For me sometimes it seems like a big challenge especially with those things that are not in my control.

I guess everyone goes through these challenges. Feeling frustrated, misunderstood by people, burnt out, forgotten, restless, agitated, stressed and angry; all part of life (Did I mention everything?). Although difficult, I’ve learned staying patient helps me stay satisfied, accomplished, understood, remembered, calm, peaceful, relaxed, and happy cause everything happens at its own time.

God is the perfect judge; He knows what we need and when we need it.
