Let's talk about patience.

You know that feeling,

The restless urgency when life isn't moving at the speed we wish it would.

Maybe you're stuck in traffic,

Or you're waiting for news,

Or you're eager for change that seems just out of reach.

Yeah,

Patience can feel impossible in moments like these.

As if the waiting itself is somehow wrong,

We've got to make something happen.

What if we tried reframing patience?

Let's give it a shot.

Wherever you're at right now,

Just take a gentle breath,

Slowly in,

Slowly out.

Notice how just that simple pause creates space within you.

You know,

When we practice patience,

We offer ourselves a kindness,

Allowing life to unfold without forcing it.

Sometimes it's in these quiet breaths that we find the space to shift our perspective.

Instead of fighting against the waiting,

We lean into it.

Life will unfold as it needs to,

Even if we can't always see clearly from our vantage point.

You know,

As Lao Tzu wisely said,

Nature does not hurry,

Yet everything is accomplished.

And that's a really cool reminder that invites us to just trust in life's timing,

Even when it challenges our own.

So,

Today,

If you feel impatience creeping in,

It's okay,

Just return to your breath.

Let it remind you that patience isn't just a virtue,

It's a gentle companion guiding us gracefully through uncertainty.

Thank you so much for joining me.
