– Meryl Streep

I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I’ve become arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in my life where I do not want to waste more time with what displeases me or hurts me. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of any nature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those who do not love me and to smile at those who do not want to smile at me. I no longer spend a single minute on those who lie or want to manipulate. I decided not to coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I do not tolerate selective erudition nor academic arrogance. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping. I hate conflict and comparisons. I believe in a world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities. In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal. I do not get along with those who do not know how to give a compliment or a word of encouragement. Exaggerations bore me and I have difficulty accepting those who do not like animals. And on top of everything I have no patience for anyone who does not deserve my patience.

how you act

“Patience is not the ability to wait, 

but how you act while you’re waiting.”

Don’t be so hard on yourself

Don’t be so hard on yourself
this will lead to difficult times.
Learn to forgive yourself and
forgive those who gave you hard times.
Learn to see the bright side of the darkness.
Learn to accept the darkness in the light.
It will make you stronger and it will show you
patience. Patience will lead you to your dreams.

— Emily Haines

“It bothers me that no one has the patience to deal with someone who is just sad.”

Dear 2014,

DEAR 2014,

Please bring good things this year.

Please bring happiness.

Don’t let me travel the same road I’ve been traveling on.

Let me live.

Let me laugh more that i usually do.

Let me fall in love without feeling scared.

Help me learn from my mistakes. and

Sing out loud and not give a single f*** .

Make new friends and strengthen the old.

Beat my sadness.

Get in shape and feel good about myself.

Work away my anxiety.

Push away negative thoughts.

Find recovery.

Travel.

Find a really good job.

Rebuild myself before I break.

Become a stronger person, both mentally, physically and spiritually.

And if you can’t do half or any of these things, please just do one:

My first New Year’s kiss.

That would be awesome in itself.

Sincerely,

Patiently Waiting.

Patience, pretty girl.

God is still writing

your love story.

He'll send the

perfect man your way

at the perfect time.

i vow to

— Carl Jung

“Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.”

- Buddha

"Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you. They are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn perfect patience, perfect wisdom, perfect compassion." 

— The Vow

“I vow to help you love life , to always hold you with tenderness and to have the patience that love demands , to speak when words are needed and to share the silence when they are not. To live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home.”

- Johann von Goethe

Nine requisites for contented living: Health enough to make work a pleasure. Wealth enough to support your needs. Strength to battle with difficulties and overcome them. Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. Charity enough to see some good in your neighbor. Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others. Faith enough to make real the things of God. Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.

I vow to.....

I am a patient listener, but opinionated to the point of stubbornness when my mind is made up. –Walt Disney

~ Brian Adams

Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success. 

Love is~

when you've been knocked down

It takes courage to stand when you've been knocked down, 

strength to try again with a bright smile, 

and patience to see it fall into place!

I'm a very patient person

I'm a very patient person and I give plenty of second chances, but I am not a perfect, I have my limits.

Sometimes patience has nothing to do with it,

Sometimes patience has nothing to do with it, 

and sometimes, no matter how much you tough it out, 

you’re not supposed to, 

and the pieces will absolutely not fall where you want them to.

Unknown

Love never fails; 

Character never quits; 

and with patience and persistence; 

Dreams do come true.
