Everyone has to exercise patience everyday, in everything. If we didn’t life would blow up in our faces, and the faces of everyone around us. Having patience is more than just learning to wait for things you want. Patience is a lifestyle that helps you have order.
I wrote this... poem? a while ago and thought I would share it because patience is an important thing to remember to have and exercise in every chapter of our lives, but of specially in our youth when so much of life is just waiting for us.
What is Patience?
by Anna Lynn
Patience is not sitting still and waiting while the world around you changes.
Patience is an active word, it tells you to have the perseverance to change the world around you.
Patience is not about being passive and avoiding conflict.
Patience is about being calm in the storm that goes ever on around us.
Patience is not waiting for the judgement to fall on your neighbor.
Patience is bearing an offense without the intent to seek revenge.
Patience is not about keeping yourself apart from others.
Patience is about being about to spread peace to others.
Patience is not a form of meditation.
Patience is hard work and enduring to the end.
-Anna Lynn
