I’m at a point in my life where peace of mind has become one of my highest priorities. I want to be at peace, and I want to get better and better at allowing things to follow their natural course, without desperately trying to force them into completion, because that would only create a lot of unnecessary stress, pain and suffering into my life, and I don’t want that.

There are things in life that require more time than others. Time to blossom, to develop, to grow, to mature… And if we don’t learn the art of patience, by allowing life to follow its natural course, chances are that we will continue to force and resist the natural flow of things, inflicting a lot of unnecessary pain onto ourselves and onto those around us.

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.

Patience is not just about waiting for something… it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.
