Sometimes it feels like life is a constantly unraveling story. The only problem is, we want to jump straight to the end to see what happens. However, being impatient does not speed up the process. It only wastes your time and energy by creating extra anxiety and fear. And when we are impatient, we need to know it is because we do not want to take time to learn the lesson at hand. We want it done now. Or, as I once heard: "Instant gratification is not soon enough." Today, recognize that there is always something to learn, something to know and that knowing is a process that cannot be sped up or hurried because we become impatient. Today, recognize that patience is being at peace with the process of life, knowing and trusting that everything happens in the perfect time/space sequence. If you are not having completion now, then there is something more for you to know. When you choose to be patient, it will become easier to deal with both celebrations and setbacks. Knowing that sometimes only time can resolve a situation can make it easier for you to let go and be present. And it’s always easier to be peaceful when you’re living in the moment. Today, choose to be patient with yourself, with others and to be at peace with the process of life.

Just for today, I recognize that patience is being at peace with the process of Life. I relax and know that everything I need to know will be revealed to me in the perfect time, in the perfect way. I will not be distracted by noise, chatter or setbacks. I will allow patience, commitment, purpose and grace to guide me. I am safe and I trust that everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.
