Met a gentleman who was successful on all fronts. He had a great health, relationship, business and great relationship with his kids too. So I asked him what’s the reason of your success? He said I practice patience. And I do not feel bad about being patient. If you start feeling bad then you cannot keep it.
He showed me a video in which a soldier waited for three days without food and water patiently and then killed the opponent and came out! That was some patience. Then he showed me a a video of a crocodile waiting for weeks to kill and eat it’s prey.
Then he showed me a video of himself where his kids were creating mess, pulling his hair and arguing. But still he was patient and finally they were quiet and were ready to listen to him patiently. He said that if he would have have lost his patience in between, he would never have been able to make them understand their point.
After sharing all the videos, he shared that he watched this crocodile video when he was a child and he learned that if you really keep patience, you get what you want. But if you rush, you lose out on everything and still you would be hungry.
Life is like a cake, you have to wait for it to fully bake or else if you try to take it out in between, you would lose your cake and you would stay hungry too.
Have patience. Success needs patience. relationship needs patience. Business needs patience. It’s a virtue and it needs lots of strength to practice it.
