Dame paciencia, porque si me das fuerza...(ESP/ING)

He who says that patience is not a virtue, is immediately declaring that he is impatient, all for some big or small reason we have had to be patient at times in our lives, either for short or long time or in some situations, we have seen the need to be, perhaps with someone for a long time or in certain circumstances, this has allowed us to cultivate it and work for it, some fortunately have more mastery of this virtue, I openly stated that it is not my forte and therefore I think I have had to live certain situations of life, so that I must work on it.

I don't remember if in my childhood I was impatient, but most probably I was, but during my adolescence began this work with which I still deal, I remember that sometimes as a young girl I wanted the pair of shoes that was fashionable, my mother and grandmother, maybe they could not pay it in full or maybe yes, but they would give me a part and the rest would be on me, so I would take what little or much they gave for transportation or something else and save, so I could buy what I wanted, so I learned that everything takes time, that you have to wait while you get what you want and work one way or another to make it happen.

Throughout my life, I have had all kinds of people as bosses, but obviously the most difficult ones are the ones you want to leave the position faster, but while they are there, you have to deal with them, this also requires patience, but what has been for me the test of fire is being a mother, I still wish today that what I say is done immediately and that my son does and is as I want him to do and be as I want him to be, that obviously many times does not end well, because instead of talking to him in a calm way, so that the message is received in a better way, I end up as an energetic person and even though he does not leave, he blocks and ignores me.

Now, the issue is not only to know what is happening and is wrong, is to take actions to change for the welfare, since all these situations sometimes generate me stress and other anxiety, so I have chosen first to remember that everything happens, what today may be hell, for example having a bad boss, someday will have to change, because at some point he will be removed from office, but while that happens, I try to do what is expected of me, the functions inherent in my position and only in cases where it is really necessary would enter into what we can call a conflict.

On the other hand, as for my son, many times I believe that he is like that, that he was sent to me like that, with a purpose, to teach me that not everything is fast, that there are processes that take time and that I must continue to perform actions and wait for the results, in that way I have learned, little by little, to have more patience, I have achieved more results having good conversations and then letting the words said remain in his mind and reflect, than when I give four shouts, so we are both in a learning process.

Something that has helped me a lot, is not to let myself be carried away by the first impulse, in short, to have self-control, breathe and think if the situation really deserves an explosion, turn a blind eye or act intelligently at the right time and in the right way, plus every day I repeat to myself, I must live one day at a time, today, I take care of today, tomorrow will be another day and I'll see.

Finally, patience is a very valuable virtue, in which it is good to work for our welfare, it is incredible and motivating to see how we see the results when we act and expect to see the results in time, so it is worth cultivating it, I can not leave without first inviting the beautiful @popurri to participate in this beautiful initiative, now I say goodbye hoping that these lines will inspire you to leave me a comment.
