"The Power
of Patience"
"Above All, Be Merciful
with Yourself"
M. J. Ryan
"The
longer I've pondered patience, the more I've
come to see that impatience is actually a symptom of
perfectionism.
If we expect ourselves and others to be
perfect,
if we expect subways and elevators and voice-mail
systems to be flawless, then we will lose our patience
every time some imperfection shows up; lost luggage,
blown timetables, rude waiters, cranky kids.
Conversely, the more we see life as messy and
unpredictable, and people as bumbling through life
the best they can, the more patience we bring to the
circumstances and people in our lives.
But we can't do that unless we start with patience
for ourselves, by treating ourselves with compassion
for, and curiosity about, our foibles and failings.
If we expect perfection from ourselves, we become
rigid, inflexible, judgmental.
Even if we haven't lived up to our own standards,
we love and care for ourselves anyway, just as we are.
The more love and mercy we shower on ourselves,
the more patience we'll have to flow over to the rest
of the imperfect people who populate this less than
perfect world."
M. J. Ryan
