How patient are you when it comes to life?

I suppose I'm very patient when it comes to the game of life now! I've had my bad days and I've also had my bouts of depression and well I guess life continues to move forward regardless. I've even taken up the act of meditation now on a daily basis and this helps me to remain calm and collected at all times. I try to focus daily on what I enjoy doing and this at least keeps me sane! I think that if you become bogged down in doom and gloom all the time there's the very real danger that depression will set in and who knows where you will end up at that point. I try to remain positive regardless of what is taking place in my life, this at least helps me to make it through the day in once piece without thinking too much about things. Andrew

They say patience is a virtue. But for many of us, patience is not easy. Patience like many things in life is something that is developed through life's experiences. It is also dependent on control. We have to concentrate on those things that we have control over and wait patiently until we have control over those things we don't control like our friend's behavior. Mostly it is a control over our impulsiveness and aggressiveness that enhances our patience. We will be patient until we can no longer tolerate then move on.

Well, if by patient you mean hanging on then I guess I'm pretty patient enough. I've had difficulties in life that would make a soft person break so I guess that justifies my claim. I guess, all of us have had chances where it would break a person's will to survive so I think that makes all of us patient people.

I would have to say some days I have more patience then others. And with some things I am more patient and others not so much. In her situation 2 years is a long time to wait. I would be seeking out other employment. Especially if it is making her depressed also. Sometimes you can't sit around and wait for things to change you have to change them yourself.

I have learnt to be patient with things in my life. I don't always get what I want in life even though I have dreamt and planned of things. I think you just have to take life one day at a time, because you never know what may happen.

I haven't been really impatient with my life. I mean I'm not eager or in a hurry to grow old. I haven't thought of ending my own life and leave my family and friends. Even if there are times that I really struggle, those times aren't enough reason for me to give up.:D I don't have a real job yet but I know I'll be patient. I'll start from the bottom and I'll rise to the top...:D

There are certain some days when I am more patient than other days. I'm sure everyone has some of those days as well. For me, it all depends on the day, when it comes to patience and such.

Hi there daliaj! Now that I am in my early thirties, I can say that i have learned a lot from my previous years. I remember during my college days, I thought that getting a job would be easy once I finish my degree. But after graduating from university, there I came to realize that it is tough to get a good job. at first, I easily discouraged and became impatient that led me to becoming a complainer. Nevertheless, as days passed, I have learned how to be strong and depend on God for everything. He is my source of patience, strength, and courage to go on and enjoy life. Cheers!^^

It has never been easy for me to be patient ,often chalenging.From the early morning starting to office,driving on the way,working inside office and till the day end reaches to home,finding evry where tension and problems .Trying to be patient even in this situation.

when i want something new in my life, i just wait and try to believe in miracles.. everyday in life is a challenge, and everyday you should have a patience to have a perfect day.. i myself just enjoying of what is going onto my life.. because life is a blessing we should be patience in every day that we have take... just go with flow as what i have always say to myself.. smile when hardship is coming and be patience in every challenges that God gave us.. that's how patience i am in my life...

Actually I do have patient for some limits only. I try to be patient when I feel depreesed or when problems occures. Life is all about challenging so we can be patient for some time but if same things happen regularly than we may not be able to manage.

When you "know" the atmosphere of your work place, then it's foolish to wish for a change..it's like your whole life..IF it's not going the right way..it's time to take a turn....so is your employment with an organization that has been treating you indifferently for 2 long years....I think it's the lack of confidence in the person to look for a better job that is to be blamed....that is the root cause... life becomes an "excuse" once you start your blame games...instead of seeking better opportunities....Harsh but true...

A person can only be so patient, otherwise they would be pushed to their breaking point. Patience is key through out life because you think more clearly and more efficiently. Just think about a sniper in the military, they stay in one spot for days waiting for the moment of a kill or Intel gathering. You also need love and many things that will calm you in life. Patience is what makes you, as in many other traits.
