I love the old-fashioned ideas of
virtues such as kindness, generosity a LOT. I am determined to develop my
patience muscle so it gets stronger all the time. Here is a big one for me; to
learn to have patience with difficult people. (And realize I may be one, myself
and not know it!) This is not only a
good deed for the person you are exhibiting patience towards, but it is also a
good deed for yourself! Imagine that, a good deed for yourself! For example,
when someone is purposely trying to push your buttons by doing something or
saying something rude, you can choose to act with patience and understanding
instead of anger. This will benefit you by keeping your blood pressure low and
your stress levels low
as well – which we know are two health issues that many people are suffering
from today. My wise woman friend BJ Gallagher says, “Difficult people are the
ones we learn the most from.”
