Patience

Patience and impatience are LEARNED behaviors and therefore may be strengthened or eliminated by proper or improper use of the mind. We may see these as two separate behaviors when in fact they are ONE, just as heat and cold are one thing not two. They represent temperature. If we are cold and wish to rid ourselves of cold we focus on heat by taking action toward heat by building a fire or turning up the thermostat. Gradually the cold is overtaken as we focus on heat. We are aware of cold but this is not where our focus is concentrated and the more intense our focus on heat the faster cold is removed.

So it is with patience. To improve patience we do not work with impatience trying to eliminate it for attention goes where energy flows. We must choose thoughts which support patience. These new thoughts when allowed to filter into the subconscious mind will in time become our new blueprint of patience. Our new behavior.

Impatience is born from a poverty consciousness where there is fear of lack and limitation. We feel a need to rush to get things for fear we may miss out or someone else will benefit before us. Our society has convinced us we needed everything yesterday before it is gone. Some feel they are getting too old and time is running out leading to frustration and anxiety. I remember hearing a comment: “If I try this I will be 65 before I see anything coming back.” And how old will you be if you don’t try?

Impatience exists only on the competitive plane. The feelings of anxiety, frustration and hopelessness serve to delay, restrict or completely cut off any good that may be coming to us. By our impatience we remain bound to past and present circumstance receiving more of the same. Some success may be realized dependant on how closely we adhere to the universal law of receiving, our preparedness, whether knowingly or unknowingly.

"We can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up our thoughts. We can only remain weak, abject, and miserable by refusing to lift our thoughts." - James Allen

Those who are able to raise their thoughts above the PHALANX of competitive thinking minds to the creative plane will experience a calmness knowing all things are coming to them in their perfect time, or something better. They realize they need only remain focused, with faith and gratitude on their worthy ideal prepared to act as opportunity presents itself. In this patient awareness there is no stress for all is perfect for it’s time. There is no restriction of prosperity available. There is an understanding that there is no lack or limitation of anything and if something becomes depleted more will be made or something better will be created to take its place. All will be realized to the extent they are prepared to receive.

To overcome impatience work with thoughts of patience in all things knowing that through lifting our thoughts a new awareness is created. With this new awareness it will be possible to extinguish all impatient behaviors.
