To understand patience, consider the source of impatience.
Ask: Where does 'wanting what I want right now' come from?
1. Is it to alleviate a state of lacking? (Suffering)
2. A fear that there won't be another chance unless we grab it right now? (Time limitation)
3. Is there not enough for everyone? (Limited availability)
4. Will others take it before we get there? (Competition)
5. Do we fear we will cease to exist without it? (Survival)
These limiting beliefs strip us of our power and leave us quaking in fear, running blindly in pursuit of things we may not even want.
We claim our power whenever we question our fears and choose respond with calm clarity.
