Endure Series - Week 2: Patience

To Lose Patience Is To Lose The Battle

 

-Mahatma Gandhi

 

 

 

Welcome and thank you for returning to the Straight Up Mindset Blog. This is the May edition of the blog. This month's series is the Endure Series and this week's topic is Patience.


This topic is probably one of the most difficult things for a person to do. Until this day I have trouble being patient. We all have lofty goals and big dreams. We live in a society where we want things right now. Instantaneous gratification is what people are looking for now a days. The thing we have to understand is that, things won't happen instantly and not everything last forever.

I'm not going to go into detail but I have had to endure a lot of pain in my life. Some big, some small but the biggest factor that helped me navigate through it all was my ability to be patient. To ENDURE and allow the healing process to take its course. I would remind myself everyday that "The rain doesn't last forever". Meaning the sun will come out eventually but until that time comes I will keep pushing, keep grinding and always move forward.

A lot of you who are reading this understand that life isn't always peaches and roses. Life will punch you right in the mouth and laugh as the blood drips from your lip. It is in those moments where you must take a step back, take a deep breath and understand that this is part of the process. Understand that this is just a moment in time that you will overcome, you will endure. Think about how far you have come. You are not the same person you were before. That did not happen over night. That happened from the will and determination to change and succeed.

I will leave you with this quote from Martin Luther King Jr. "Quietly Endure, Silently Suffer and Patiently Wait" The two people that we have quoted in this blog are two very great examples of those who had extreme patience. Their ability to be patient and understand what is at the end of the dark road help changed lives. So remember, Life doesn't get easier. You just get better at being able to handle it
