“Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.”

– Barbara Johnson

They say that patience is a virtue and good things come to those who wait. For all of my better qualities, I remain hilariously impatient. I approach things earnestly and with sincerity. When I find something I enjoy, I often throw myself into with reckless abandon. Waiting is not something that comes naturally to me. But in life, all things are about balance. It’s about learning when to sit back and let things happen as they will instead of trying to hurry them along. All the desire in the world to see a flower won’t make it grow any faster, and there’s no sense in plucking it before it’s bloomed. Sometimes, the only thing is to let nature run it’s course.
