I agree, patience is indeed not the passive thing most people associate it with. It’s not easy to be patient. And many times, the hardest thing to do is not to move but to stay just where you are. Nice day!

Thank you so much for your comments. I am glad that that #3 was a point that you both pondered. I often find myself frustrated when I am in line, when I can use that time to think productively! It’s pretty awesome!

Good post – your suggestions to become more patient are helpful. One thing I try to keep in mind when I’m in a situation where I’m waiting for service or in line is that everyone else is waiting their turn and that we’re all equally important. While the line may move slowly, that’s OK – there’s no good reason that the line should move more quickly because I said so and because I think I should be served right now. Like you said in #2, just use the wait for productive thinking time.

Good stuff! I have recently been working on your #3 – wait your turn. I’ve been trying this more when I’m in the car, and to my surprise, it really does make a difference. I get home and I’m much happier than if I fight traffic the whole way home. And I probably save very little time in the whole process. So, I’ve recently seen this one in action, and have to agree that this is powerful and effective.
