We can be gluttonous and short-fused during the Holidays, can’t we? Go get another bottle of wine! This is only my fifth cookie… What?! My brother did that again?!
Maybe, for us to best give patience to another, we must first be patient with ourselves. Cliche, I know and, I believe it’s true. Once we receive something, we can then freely give it to another. Think about love; it’s way easier to give love once we’ve received it for ourselves, isn’t it?
With the Holidays behind us, how can we choose to incorporate patience into our daily living? Patience for yourself to change and grow. Patience for someone you love to do the same. Patience as our country and the world recover from a pandemic. Patience for those who don’t think exactly like us.
