Loosing Patience

I tend to be impatient even with little things now a days. Not long ago, i can still enjoy and have fun while waiting and not loosing my patience at all.

Whenever i wait in long lines, i would keep myself busy by reading things within my sight or playing games on my mobile phone. Whenever i would wait for someone and even if it would take longer than an hour or two, reading books or sending SMS would keep away my idle time. Whenever i am in dire need of answers from God, i would still pray joyfully and with gladness in my heart. There is always joy in waiting.

People do change, and not always for the better. I am now becoming an impatient and control freak. Lately, training a new hire seemed impossible for me not to loose my patience. Simple and basic instructions or procedures are asked repeatedly. I might say, simple things are sometimes the most complicated things to understand and follow. Learning fundamentals or the foundation of a one element or area of learning would aid any person when faced by cerebrally challenging situations. Once grounded on the basic tenets, it would after all make the job easier and less mind-boggling.

I was reminded by a verse in the Bible found on 1 Corinthians 13:4 which says" Love is patient, love is kind".

This is also backed strongly by this straight to the heart quote:

"When tempted to lose patience with someone, stop and think how patient God has been with you".

True enough, i must say, i have to be patient at all times. And when tempted, i have to put my feet on that person's shoes and view it on God's perspective.
