Reflecting on patience

I get so overwhelmed by the busy rush of our world sometimes. We are always on the go- on our way to work, on the phone, on the computer. Sometimes I can literally hear a buzz. Most times the energy makes me feel alive and excited, and other times it wears me out. There is just so much going on all the time that I feel we get caught up in our own busy selves and often lose sight of the lives around us.

We get so caught up in what we have to do, where we have to be and how we'll get it all done that it is easy to take our frustration or impatience out on the people around us. I really want to work on patience with myself. I get easily fearful of not accomplishing, or even starting the career and passions I know would bring so much brilliance and peace in my life.

So I am going to dig deep and actualize the parts of my life that need a little push, guidance and definitely patience. I believe by nurturing these dreams of mine that I will create a life where I will not feel as rushed and consumed by the fast-paced way of daily life.

It's the compassion and patience I must give myself, so I can do the same for the people flowing in and around my life.
