The Necessity of Patience

Patience is a virtue and a necessity Sometimes one must pull up a chair, sit and wait Patience is key! Take. Your. Time. Let no one pressure you into meeting an unrealistic deadline. Do your own thing, at your own speed Running late because... you forgot to set your alarm clock? Patience! Slow down, my good friend. You'd rather be late than careen off the highway! You're mightily ticked off and you want to hit something, or worse, someone? Easy does it! Hold your anger in. Breathe. Let annoyance wash over you Don't wear it like cologne! Something isn't going your way? Some dream you're working so hard to build is taking too long to stand erect? Keep plugging away; it eventually will. And it will stand firm... If you lay the bricks of your foundation without haste. You lay them the right way. and take it day by day. Be patient. It will stand firm! Take your sweet ol' time... solving an arduous problem making big decisions, life choices, or even finding true love. No pressure. Patience is key! Submitted for...
