Patience has never been my strong suit

Patience has never been my strong suit. I like things to happen quickly, and when they don’t, I get frustrated. Today was one of those days when nothing seemed to go as planned, and I felt my patience wearing thin.

I was working on a new dance routine, but I couldn’t seem to get it right. Every time I tried, something went wrong, and I felt like giving up. But then I remembered the Law of Responsibility.

I realized that my impatience was part of the problem. I was rushing through the routine, trying to make it perfect in one go, instead of taking the time to practice and improve. If I wanted to succeed, I needed to be patient with myself and the process.

I decided to take a break, clear my mind, and come back to the routine with a fresh perspective. When I did, things started to fall into place. It wasn’t perfect, but it was progress, and that was enough for today.

I learned that patience is a choice, just like anything else. By taking responsibility for my own impatience, I was able to turn a frustrating day into a productive one.
