PROMPT March 11th Do you consider yourself a patient person? How easy or difficult is it for you to wait for something? Does a delayed reward feel more or less satisfying than an immediate reward? patient [ pey-shuhnt ] adjective - Bearing provocation, annoyance, misfortune, delay, hardship, pain, etc., with fortitude and calm and without complaint, anger, or the like. Characterized by or expressing such a quality: a patient smile. Quietly and steadily persevering or diligent, especially in detail or exactness: a patient worker. What a word! And powerful! If only that word applied to me!  Honestly, I would like to think I'm patient. And I try hard to be patient. I'm just not very good at it. So I have to face facts. I'm not patient. It's one of my biggest flaws. I've spent 6 decades trying to change it. Not happening. It is what it is.  Remember that old saying, "Stop and smell the roses"? Beautiful saying and beautiful way to live. But it's just not me! I can see the roses. I can smell the roses. I know they're beautiful. But darn it, there are flowers everywhere! I've got tons more to get to! This is exactly how I live my life. I've always got tons more to get to. And how about another saying, "Patience is a virtue"? Yes, I understand it's a virtue. And I'd love to collect all the virtue I can. Patience will never be one of them. Why? There's so much out there! I've got tons more to get to! Oh brother, at this stage of the game, I wish life would just slow down so I actually could stop and smell the roses.  |
