Some days I want to scream " What the hell is patience." I find I hand over my serenity when I am driving. I practice daily saying to myself "calm down Donya, you are exactly where you are suppose to be.
I am getting better at not letting others steal my serenity. I keep my power through love and non judgement. This guarantees peace. When I get stressed I have usually taken on more than I am suppose to. The day gets hectic and I get frazzled. Then I need to Halt. (Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired) I am usually one or more of these.
The first step is for me to prioritize what is on my plate. Only deal with the most important thing first. Handle it while being fully present and not in la-la land tyring to juggle the others. This always makes life less stressful.
As I am being present I can also stop and ask for more help when I am stuck. Sometimes this help comes as a clearer idea or I will stop and call one of my spiritual mentors. They are great to run ideas by. They are unattached to the challenge and will help me see the situation from a place of love.
I am learning that life is a process. It may not move as fast as I want it to. I need to focus on what is right in front of me and not judge. My job is to let the process unfold. Be patient. Do not try to force the process. God knows the big picture. He knows what is in front of me. If I am being impatient I will miss my gifts of today.
For today, God has me at a job with lots of time on my hands. This gives me a lot of time to spiritually grow by readings and journaling. Go God
Lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love. Ephesians 4:1-2
