Patience is a Virtue

Life resolution number 2, being more patient. 

I need to seriously be more patient in every aspect of my life.  When I am driving on the roads of Arizona I get so frustrated.  Practically everyone in this state is a transplant so everyone has learned how to drive in different states.  On the east coast you drive on the right and pass on the left.  Here, people drive 10 under the speed limit in the left lane directly next to the person in the right lane.  And of course this always happens when I’m in a rush or when I’m late.  I know something like this will never change so I just have to face the facts and not let those bad drivers make me mad.

But being patient isn’t just about when I’m on the road.  I need to be patient with the people around me.  I work with great people that are always willing to help me out.  The worst thing I could do is snap at them because I’m getting frustrated about something stupid.  Those of you who know me, it happens too often.  I also have amazing family and friends.  My older sister is the one that tells me when I’m being a b**ch and I need to apologize to whomever I was being rude to.  But really I’m how old now, I need to just stop being a b**ch to people that care about me.

So to actually try and be more patient I need to just let things roll of my shoulders.  I need to not let the little things bother me.  If a person is driving at a snails pace and I have somewhere to be, being late is not the worst thing that could happen in my life.  I need to live that fact.  I also need to show it.  If I can live it and show it then my life would be a lot less stressful.  I need to be able to enjoy what I have when I have it.

All good things come to those who wait
