PRACTICE PATIENCE AND IMPULSE CONTROL
Patience is something that grows as you exercise it.
One of the things that cause people to walk in folly, and prevents many from acting intelligently is impulsive thinking and behaviors brought about by impatience. I don’t know whether you have realized this, but every time you disengage your patience and you act rashly and without thought, the results are never good.
For example, sudden anger will always shut down the mind and will push people to act without thinking. Equally, sudden and unchecked desires have also wrecked many people’s lives. I have come to learn that even if it’s good, exciting, and desirable, you still need to exercise patience. If you don’t understand this, you will fall prey to reckless emotions and actions. Patience is something that grows as you exercise it. Patience blossoms into objectivity, quality, excellence, and greatness.
It keeps you sober about everything and allows clarity of thought about life. Think about it: How many decisions have you made out of impulse, excitement, or fear that have cost you? How many times have you spent money without thinking? Remember that patience is not always about waiting or taking time.
It’s much more about clear thinking and impulse control. Patience enables you to evaluate all events and situations calmly and thereby arriving at the most intelligent conclusions and the most beneficial decisions. Practice patience and impulse control today!
