Power of patience

PATIENCE is a virtue that we all love to cherish

Patience is our ability to persevere in the face of adversity

Is patience inborn or does it need to be nurtured?

This is a fundamenta­l question to ponder on

Patience is courage to traverse turbulent sea of life

With self-confidence, self -trust and deeper understand­ing

Of human mind, heart and behaviour Patience helps to foster a healthy attitude It improves our ability to accept setbacks and enjoy life better

Patience allows us to persevere and make more productive decisions

Which carves a path to greater success Patience reflects openness to different perspectiv­es and opinions

Patience in institutio­ns and organizati­ons where we work

There may be conflict with our work ethics and may aggravate the situation

This calls for a reservoir of patience

It’s unwise to act on the spur of the moment

The real test of patience is to stay Calm and composed in trying times Patience is our ability to wait for things to unfold naturally

Patience implies self-control

‘Wait’ is the secret in overcoming stressful situations

Especially when one is provoked to react Anger may trigger and one may blurt out impulsivel­y

It would be wise to apply a smart brake and wait

Or walk away from the situation

This delay in action may save serious consequenc­es

This is the quintessen­ce of patience Patience can be misconstru­ed as weakness and indecisive­ness

Patience to wait for the right moment to act is wisdom

Rather than acting impulsivel­y is a prudent thought

Impatience can trigger accidents, anger, frustratio­ns

Indiscipli­ne, tragedies, stress level, depression, anxiety

Impatience can limit opportunit­ies Instant result culture causes overwhelmi­ng stress

Which hinders personal growth and produces regret

The most momentous rewards come from willingnes­s to wait

Power of patience lies in one’s ability to wait with calmness
