Hello my dear reader 😊👋
In this blog I am going to bring you some PEACE by throwing some light on the role played by TIME, PERSEVERANCE AND PATIENCE in your life.
Talking about Time ,"TIME IS THE BIGGEST HEALER".
We all go through rough time and as it is a well known fact that nothing is parmanent here on this Earth. All the difficulties vanish away with time. A seed takes its own time to germinate and grow into a sapling which further grows into a giant tree after a particular period of time. All this process needs patience and perseverance too. So let's focus on patience and perseverance.
DEFINITION OF PATIENCE :
The quality of being able to stay calm and not get angry, especially when there is a difficulty or you have to wait a long time.
DEFINITION OF PERSEVERANCE:
The determination to keep going and not give up, even when things are difficult, slow, or frustrating.
So the mantra for a strong, peaceful, stress-free and successful life is " STAY CALM AND KEEP GOING ".
Patience and perseverance are often described as the "magical" combination that allows obstacles to vanish and long-term success to take root. Here are several insightful quotes categorized by their specific focus:
John Quincy Adams (6th U.S. President): "Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish".
Napoleon Hill ( Famous as an American self-help author and a pioneer of the modern personal-success literature genre):"Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success".
Swami Vivekananda ( An Indian Hindu monk, philosopher, author, religious teacher, and the chief disciple of the Indian mystic ):"Purity, patience and perseverance are the three essentials to success and above all love".
In these above mentioned quotes we get to see different virtue combinations which have a beautiful impact on our life.
Here in this blog I am going to present the hidden factors which regulate your patience and help you to understand it's importance in bringing peace, joy and success into your life. These factors either degrade or boost your patience. If you try to understand the core issues behind these regulating factors, you will find that these can be tackled in a way if you work upon them. Above all this you need to understand the actual importance and gain of being patient under various circumstances. Try to learn skills which inculcate patience in your mind.
"Patience is volatile in nature". It turns off very quickly. One needs perseverance to be a master who has a prominent grip over this very diffusible thing called PATIENCE.
First of all let me tell you how I chose this topic. This blog is inspired by a meaningful conversation with few of my old classfellows.
A few days back one of them mentioned, how time has lowered his level of patience almost in every field of life. I could read his way of living in which he completes all other necessary tasks and duties for others around him but compromises his patience especially when it comes to his own benefits and starts finding excuses to let things go off due to lack of patience for himself. In a conversation he mentioned this term patience and I asked him to seek peace first if he wish to overcome all the anxiety. This triggered me to think about and share some vision on this very topic. After studying a few facts I found that peace cannot be achieved without patience and without peace you cannot think straight in any scenarios of life.
Let's understand the role of patience in our life and why it's so important.
In today's world life revolves around fast paced technology and everyone is in some kind of hurry to complete their tasks within a few seconds. Nobody is ready to handle delays. If possible they could even skip some important steps needed to be done before achieving the target. This leads them to pay some extra efforts and time later on. So in a way the whole situation results in a loss with hardly any gain.
People are always in a hurry to achieve more in less time. This need of achieving more in a short time forces them to cut corners which is really not a good idea. This is a kind of trap, if once you start choosing shortcuts, one day you will find yourself in a place full of every kind of burden and chaos. Being impatient gives you unhealthy ways of living and doing things. Sometimes it's life threatening too. A simple example could be given here of those impatient people who can't wait for the green traffic light signal and brake the rules. They become a threat to others too, may lead to some serious accidents.
Patience means stabilizing your energies which affects your thinking patterns. Learning patience increases your potential to think about the best probabilities and possibilities present around you. When life throws you a curveball, this art of being patient would surely be a big support. It enhances your capabilities by giving you a clearer picture of whatever you are doing. Taking pause helps us to think in a deeper manner, gives us proper time to decide the right and wrong. Here I would like to give an example of the "eighth pause" in music. An eighth rest (or quaver rest) is a crucial musical symbol representing a brief moment of silence lasting exactly half a beat in standard time. This pause plays an important role in creating rhythm, controlling energy, and building structure in music. Similarly, whenever you find yourself indulging in some kind of chaos, anger, distress or any negative emotion, take a pause to set your rhythm, stabilize your energy and step ahead only after you get a clear path. Under the influence of impatience, don't force yourself to get into the darkness of confusion, chaos, greed, anger and many other kinds of negative emotions.
Practicing patience brings success, peace, happiness and harmony into your life. This helps us to grow in a positive manner. Since, the base of being patient lies in being loyal first to yourself and extending this further to others around you. This also endures uplifting other qualities like paying gratitude for having nice and beautiful things in your life.
Sufferings in our life come and go, these don't reside permanently. Patiently handling things will help us to recover smoothly. Patience helps in healing every kind of damages either physical or mental in a more proper way to establish a new you. “Time, the great healer of all wounds.”
In order to keep your body healthy, first you need to keep your mind healthy and that can only be achieved by gaining peace. Peace only comes after patience and to keep it all along you have to culture perseverance in your behaviour. When we go through some tough times, that is when this patience becomes an essential quality to pursue. Those unwelcoming unfavorable situations especially demand this patience when someone moves the goalposts and you are like "wow! what just happened". Under such tough conditions you cannot make the correct decision in a hurry. When you become furious because of some odd things around you, ask yourself to take a break and relax. This pause helps you to collect yourself and introspect the situation. This makes you feel positive while understanding the actual importance of being patient.
Sometimes you get stuck in such a situation where you have to make tough choices. Being patient will definitely assist you to select between the devil and the deep blue sea.
Take the L ( Loss ), since acceptance makes you courageous enough to fix the core issues. Cultivating patience lets you be honest to yourself and gives you freedom to discern and think wisely.
Patience keeps you aware about your surroundings and lets you think twice before taking any action. This helps you to hold your horses well. No hurry, no worries 🤗.
In relationships if you choose patience instead of eagerly expressing everything at once, you will have better chances of having a mutual respect and understanding. Patience helps you to understand other's emotions and feelings in a positive way at a steady pace. It helps in building strong foundation in any relationship.
Patience keeps you away from unnecessarily barking up on the wrong tree.Keeping patience may sometimes stay safe as it helps you to make a safe distance from unnecessary drama in your life. It refrain you from being judgmental about some sort of situation where you don't know the actual cause. Hence, no need to show your emotions else you could be frustrated about the situation.
Without patience those giant mountains like Everest can't be climbed. The highest peaks are not conquered in a single leap, but by focusing on one, imperfect step at a time, allowing for steady progress. In this scenario patience, perseverance and time plays an important role to keep going without getting exhausted. Similarly, those figurative, daunting life challenges can only be handled and settled with patience.
To my above mentioned elaborations of understanding the importance of being patient here I am sharing some more visionary thoughts about it by some famous people which I picked from the net. I think these are loud enough to convey the actual importance of patience.
"Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
"Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Beware the fury of a patient man.”
John Dryden
"Time and patience change the mulberry leaf to silk.”
Chinese Proverb
"All human wisdom is summed up in two words; wait and hope.”
Alexandre Dumas
"He that can have patience can have what he will.”
Benjamin Franklin
Each of these quotes explains the importance of patience and inspire us to be patient if you really love to live a successful, joyful and fruitful life.
Once again, I would like to remind you not to forget to combine this patience with perseverance, which helps you to keep things going at their own pace. Always try to remain calm and positive. Start pursuing this patience once in a while, then once in a whole day, and gradually increase the number of times. In a short period of time, you will start realizing that things have started going in a smoother way.
With continuous practice of patience, you will find later on that you are able to have a better grip on your thoughts and emotions. So my dear reader now I hope you got the message, how important patience and perseverance are. With patience and perseverance you can conquer everything in your life.

Have a peaceful and joyful life filled with patience and perseverance.
