Journal Entry for July 20, 2008 Mood

Sunday, July 20, 2008

There are days when I feel impatient with the way my life is going.

Maybe my emotional healing isn't happening fast enough for me, and I feel angry or frustrated. Maybe I'm having financial problems, or my life doesn't satisfy me. Maybe caring for my partner is tiring, or I can't find the way out of my own way and I feel frantic. Today I will practice being patient. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to do nothing - to wait for events to unfold in their own time.

I can learn to relax and stop trying to force things to happen. I can't control everything in my life, and today I will stop trying. I don't have to achieve all my goals in one day or even one month.

As hard as it may seem, for today, I will be a patient person.

Something I read recently with my problem with impatience...and touches off today's gospel....tugging at the seed will not hasten it's growth...

It's a hard lesson to learn an d an extremly hard thing to do, but very true, you can't control everything, as I am still learning. Things will either work themselves out or they won't, but there's always a reason for it all in the end.....He does it all for the best!!!!!

Patience has hope as one of its attributes. It also host's trust. You sound very aware of yourself and hard on yourself and sometimes you try to hard. Sometimes the only way out is through and there isn't a thing we can do about it!
