Healthy Tips: Patience Matters When Trying to Make a Change

Be patient with yourself: It takes time to make lasting changes.

The Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu wrote, “The soft overcomes the hard. The slow overcomes the fast.” And, he also wrote, “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”

It’s difficult to be patient in a society that demands the opposite, we clamor for results now, or else. When we’re patient with ourselves, certain of our goal, committed to making sustain effort, and allow our progress to by guided by what we are learning on the journey, we will be successful.

Think About It

I can’t complain about how things are working out if I continue to act in the same way. I canexpect but the same results if I continue to operate with similar patterns.  If I want different results I have to change how I’m am acting. Waiting for things to change without personal change is akin to waiting for a warm summer’s day in the middle of January in the northern hemisphere, it’s not going to happen. If you change and you’re still not getting the results you want, what to do? Change again and again, you’ll get it right. Don’t quit.
