Continuing from where we left off: Patience Takes Time To Land
My impatience shows up most in the kitchen. I rush ingredients in too fast or forget some entirely. Sometimes I leave milk on the stove for tea and then wander off to check email. Hiss! Bubble! Spill! Another mess to clean. Another lesson learned: impatience isn’t just bad waiting, it’s also walking away too soon.
We live in a world of micro-waits, and each tiny delay irritates us. But nature works differently. Seeds grow slowly underground. Birds find food when they need it. Milk boils only when it is forgotten.
These small frustrations train us to crave instant results. Yet anything worthwhile, like losing weight, learning a skill or building a habit, needs time and patience.
Impatience shrinks our view. We make hasty choices, skip essential steps and overlook details. We become reactive and scattered.
Building patience begins with awareness. Remember, good things take time. Turn waiting into a chance to watch, listen and learn.
So how do we stay by the stove? Notice the urge to walk away. Stay with what is “boiling”, even when the process feels slow.
