Conscious Leadership

Learn how to wait and everything will fall into place

I hope you are well and enjoying the summer. For todays post, I wanted to focus on the topic of patience. Most of my students and clients often ask me, “How can I become more patient?” Patience is the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset. Impatience, the opposite of patience is a flavor of anger. I wrote about the various flavors of anger several weeks back. When we listen and honor our impatience, we can sense what is at the root of it. Impatience arises for all types of reasons, but often it is because we are expecting a certain outcome or goal to happen faster than it actually is. Do any of these sound familiar?

Every one of us has a unique combination of talents, strengths, weaknesses.  The make up of each one of us is unique to who we are and therefore allows each of us to have a unique purpose and calling.

I can ONLY be Carley.  I can’t be someone else even when my mind moves into comparing how I wish I had this, or why can’t I have this trait, etc.  I have my strengths and weaknesses that I am always learning about and working with.
