"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.
