"Happiness will never come to those who fail to
appreciate what they already have."

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 slow connection on the Internet. If it
takes a computer screen more than ten seconds to load, they'll
start adjusting cords wondering what is wrong and why the Internet is
so slow. Never mind that only 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.
And as always,
don't forget to
start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is
going to
happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"
And when ending
your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do
to
make today matter?
