"Happiness
will never come to those who fail to appreciate what
they already have."
~Anonymous
Good morning! For as many times as we have said,
"Patience is a virtue," you would think that message
would be drilled into our brains and our society. But
look around. Take any day, of any year, and see how
little patience exists in the world we live in.
If you really want to see how lacking in patience the
world is, get about twenty items and try going through
the express lane at the grocery store. A loud chorus of
sighs will start behind you.
How about road rage? Everyone is so intent on getting
there, fast, faster, fastest. Or watch someone with a
modem on the Internet. If it takes a computer screen
more than twenty seconds to load, they'll start
adjusting cords wondering what is wrong and why the
Internet is so slow. Never mind that not even a decade
ago, most people had to journey to the library for the
afternoon to gather information that is now delivered to
the savvy web-surfer in seconds.
My mother is famous for pointing out how the lack of
patience is so foolish when driving. Up in northern
Wisconsin where I grew up, the roads were only
occasionally speckled with traffic. Despite the beauty,
cars would zoom and race by. Once we got to the city and
found ourselves at a traffic light, the car that passed
us at ninety-miles-per-hour was just a matter of a few
feet in front of us. My mom would always laugh at how
the drivers were so focused on the road and passing
others that they missed the fall colors or spring
blossoms.
Your Turn:
When you are charging around in daily life - ask
yourself where exactly you are going. Is crossing the
"finish" line a bit quicker worth missing the view?
Your Affirmation:
While engaged on any journey, I remember to enjoy
the view.
