Patience is the first step to understanding

When you or someone you know experiences grief in a way that affects them everyday it takes a toll on their morale. It takes a lot of time to try and not to think about anything and use it for yourself. If you have a problem that seems impossible to figure out the next step or where to go next maybe patience is what’s been missing. A lot of situations can get out of hand and be stressful fast and without being patient it’s easy to get overstimulated about it. I myself know I can be the same way and not know exactly what to do without thinking first or giving time to myself and being patient.The first day cant be the same day that everything gets forgotten as well. Without patience the situation is hard to overcome.

A time where I can remember using patience in a situation was when I lost one of my good friends during the school year. It was a very tough situation to think about and millions of questions you ask yourself and everybody around you yet so many go unanswered. It´s hard to overcome a situation you haven´t been in before and without someone that always has been you for the other problems that just seem little or nonexistent now. When I found myself questioning what the next step to getting better is, I knew what I wanted to feel like but didn´t know how to make it how things were before. It´s easy to say you got everything figured out when everything you have ¨figured out¨ is as hectic as it’s ever been. You find yourself in times where you think ¨What am I even supposed to be doing¨ or ¨Why would this happen?¨ but they all go unanswered. The first step to me overcoming this was realizing I need to be patient and give myself time to assess what is happening and what I need to do to better myself and the problem I’m having.

Patience is great for many things in many different ways. It can be a starting point for any counter to an overwhelming thing or situation in your life. Somewhere that brings you to the right headspace to go through and think clearly on the situation at hand. If you are in a state where you’re unsure of your next thought the best thing is to be patient about the situation at hand and give yourself space to think as well as space from the situation or problem at hand. I love to give myself space when it’s a situation I’m unsure what to do next. A good way of looking at it is how it can be used to take a step back and assess the circumstance and if you can do anything to help without making something worse.

There are so many sayings to where the ¨Time is right¨ and how everything is meant to be and it´s hard to believe until something happens that relates. Something that seems so amazing might not be what you need yourself. Something that I can want so bad could be the farthest thing from what I need. Next to that if something isn’t in the right time frame for what you need, patience is a great step to processing the situation. There can be something in your life or a time where it couldn´t seem like anything is better. There are also times where nothing can seem worse and it is important to be patient for both sides. I personally have gone through both sides for many different situations and think that patience can help in many different ways. Something can seem so amazing or bad until you are patient and see how things play out. Even if it can seem like it’s not the best for right now it could be with patience and time. I have had many situations where I didn’t know how to go about them but by being patient it allowed me to deal with them easier. If something is meant to be then it will happen and the pieces will fall in but it’s hard to fight something that won´t get better without time. Until you realize what patience can do there are likely a lot of times where it was the best option for when the time wasn´t right.

In conclusion there are many situations you’ll encounter throughout your life and each one will have a different approach and outcome. Patience can be used as the starting point without overdoing too much and making the situation worse. It is a key aspect to problem solving and just about everything in my life benefits from patience. So many things can become overwhelming when you don´t know when or where to take the next step, it’s important to think of yourself. When something seems to get to a point where you don´t know what to do, it´s always good to use patience to take ahold of the problem at hand.
