It takes a lot of patience with yourself to recognize your faults and to own them.
It equally takes twice the humility to resolve that you’ll do better in the future.
Ultimately, it takes patience to master and improve on who you are and whatever it is that you are doing. Anticipating instant success in changes that concerns us only opens up our thoughts and attitude towards impatience and frustration.
May you not tire in running your race.

Every Tuesday, I share snippets of thoughts that I call ‘My Thinking Corner.’
I would like to invite you to participate. The challenge is quite simple. You can check this link for more details.

This is a very strong line: “it takes patience to master and improve on who you are and whatever it is that you are doing.” Indeed, we are a lifetime’s work, not a product of a moment’s ecstasy.

Thank you Roger. Each day I pray for patience to be more refined and not a product of moment’s ecstasy like you rightly pointed out.

Me too. We are unfinished works of art. Alas, I am still copy-editing myself!

So glad you like it. Borrow it by all means. I think of life as a free lending library, not as a room in which private limited editions are never opened without written permission. Best wishes.

Hello Jacqueline,
Hear! Hear! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It certainly takes patience, humility and determination to improve ourselves.
I did try to leave a comment on your latest post informing you I’d written a post for My Thinking Corner, but was unsuccessful, as comments were closed.

Thank you Lady Cee for your comments. I closed comment on that one because it leads back to my second site and I didn’t want to have duplicate comments on them.

Hi Jackie, hope life has been treating you well. Sorry for not keeping in touch, I have just been dealing with all the ‘unfamiliarity’ (do drop by to read my latest post to know what I’m talking about, if you have time) and in the process have been unable to pay as much attention as I should to this space. But I hope I’ll be able to drop by much frequently henceforth 🙂
