Patience

The urge, the impulse, the inferno, the disgust, the rage these emotions carries negative power which if not controlled can wreck damages in unimaginable forms inviting regrets that could have been easily avoided.

Man is susceptible to negative emotions ranging from anxiety, aggression, anger and many more which sometimes triggers irrational actions that wrecks our relationship with people. Life is about finding a balance between positive and negative, neutralising the negatives with the positives. For all of these negative emotions patience is the remedy, but that which only a few can master.

No individual is born patient. It is painstakingly learnt and imbibed and any individual who lacks patience will tread on an inevitable path to self destruction. It is like a car without brakes. Am sure that we must have had some experiences where a little drop of patience paid off. Patience is highly required because conflict is inevitable in human interaction, it goes beyond taking time, it’s beyond keeping mute when provoked. It’s involves the ability to hold the torrendeous urge, the ability to keep calm and relaxed and above all the ability to decipher the negative emotions within and transform them into positive ones.

Patience is an essential virtue that diffrentiates god-like individuals from ordinary men. Patience is being able to feel the pain and anger from whoever provokes you, but choosing instead to reply with love and joy…Hard you will say but it is very possible if you are willing. Patience is being in control and being able able to control. It exhibits an aura of calm that cannot be overpowered.

Patience saved the world from the outbreak of a nuclear war during the cold war. It is what differentiates the powerful from the weak. The physiological effects of patience also helps to improve self esteem. So in all you do and no matter how provocative the situation is, keep your cool, breathe, and smile it off. He who cannot control his/her emotions would have the emotions overwhelm them towards the path of destruction.

As François Rabelais said ‘ he that has patience may compass anything’

Have a Beautiful week ahead!
