I read this today and decided it belonged in my journal....I'm sharing with all of you as well because it applies to what we are trying to accomplish!
The Virtue of Patience by Denis Waitley (from The Psychology of Motivation)
While persistence is the dermination to strive to ahieve your ultimate goal, there is another virtue of equally great value. Persistence keeps us moving in side ourselves to see the purpose behnid the purpose, but patience is the wisdom behind the persistence.
Patience cautions us to focus our efforts on what we can change while accepting what we cannot. When external cicumstance rains on our parade, patience is our umbrella. Rather than blaming what we cannot control, patience is the wisdome behind persistence.
It is when a goal is distant and difficult to reach that patience is an ally. Time changes everything, but with patience you can keep your desires relatively constant. If you can just hang on long enough, time will finally create the conditions in which you can succeed.
