How To Remain Patient When Things Aren't Going Your Way

With Rianna Hijlkema

To remain patient when things don’t go your way is a valuable skill that allows us to manage our emotions better and get through difficult times with a positive attitude. It is an essential life skill that supports us in creating meaningful relationships, reaching our goals, and living a more fulfilling life. And I don’t make that up! But if you are still not convinced, look on Google at the many studies that show that people with higher levels of patience are more likely to achieve greater success.

Rianna is a full-time traveler and serial entrepreneur since 2011. She is currently based in Bali, although rarely in one place for long. From an early age, she was told to “pick one thing and stick with it.” She tried, but quickly realized that wasn’t her path. Instead, she chose to follow all her interests, embracing the journey of a multi-passionate entrepreneur and creating a life that reflects her many passions. Alongside her businesses, Rianna organizes walking and hiking retreats for women who, like her, are childless not by choice. Donations in her name go directly toward female empowerment projects run by CWEC in Lamjung, Nepal.

Patience is the ability to wait until the time is right or until the situation or person is ready. More than that, remaining patient is being able to tolerate delay, frustration, or disappointment without getting angry or upset. It is the ability to keep the big picture in mind when making decisions. More and more, we are losing the ability to deal with discomfort and remain patient. And it’s not really our fault.
