Patience

Patience according to BIBLE.. it's a virtue. 

Patience is the key to success in every sphere of life. We can win all over the outer world with this quality.
Though it's very difficult to have this quality in oneself but with regular practice one can make it a central quality of one's character.   It is a practical determination to decrease the suffering of others by controlling our waves of emotions in different circumstances like :
  • When a discussion starts converting into an argument.
  • When somebody is upset or in grief. etc.
Patience grooms your personality as a person with patience takes right decision at the right time, speaks right thing at the right time. When a person has this quality it makes him/her a complete person as the person with this quality can understand the emotions of others by listening him/her completely and this way he/she can put his/her feet in that person's shoes.

This quality in our character makes us selfless, helpful, honest and a true living creature. It helps us to be with GOD. Patience is one of the best quality which is given to us by GOD. The people who have patience GOD give them a strength to bear the misfortunes of life. GOD does not need His own gifts HE only wants that people should have the courage to beat the misfortunes of life patiently.

One of the poets of English literature "JOHN MILTON" has given the same views in his sonnet "ON HIS BLINDNESS" -- When the poet was feeling deep sorrow that he was not able to use his poetic gift in the service of GOD then his patience has spoken in this sonnet because the patience is personified. Patience has said that GOD doesn't need man's work HE only wants that they should gladly bear the misfortunes of life. To surrender oneself to the will of GOD is the best service to HIM.

Patience helps us to decrease our anger. A man in anger is harmful for everyone. In anger we generally lost our self control and most of the time we do the things that we will regret later. In this condition patience is the best remedy to control the anger.

While writing this blog just remembered a P.P.T. I read some years back. which talked about the theory of 10-1 which means that out of 10 circumstances we can't control but we one thing that we can control is how we react to those circumstances.

The example there was : A nice morning when a man woke up and got ready for his office and when he came to have his breakfast just that time a glass full of milk has fallen from his son's hand. Seeing this he shouted on his kid who then left his breakfast and start weeping which ruined the mood of whole family and the man went to the office with that mood only and for the whole day his and his family's mood was upset and when he came back to home the family didn't talk much and the whole day went like that only.

Now, just with the circumstance happened that morning we analyze that situation doesn't have any control. If the man would have had acted patiently and would not have had shouted on his son then none of his family member would be in that mood and his whole day wouldn't be that bad.

Though, it's a very small situation which happens in our day to day life but it affects our whole day and sometimes our whole life.


So, a message to all my reader friends that BE PATIENT and be with GOD to life your life happily.

  1. Well the biological traits of having patience is getting erased from the human genome, and I for one suffer from this mutation. I won't comment much on the GOD thing, but yes, having patience is definitely the first step to attain inner piece.
