My Tryst With Patience

By Tanvi Rastogi @tanviidotcom
One change I notice in myself in the past decade is - patience! I had none. And now ... I won't say I have it in abundance but I am able to dig deep and find it before it say or do anything regretful. It is a conscious brain decision which goes something like ... 

(this is a conversation I have, with myself, in my head)

Tanvi (1) - WTF - I can't believe this is happening!

Tanvi (2) - It is okay. No point losing your temper over this. 
Tanvi (1) - But this has happened before and it is unacceptable. I should say something. 
Tanvi (2) - It is not going to solve anything. Is it important in broader scheme of things?
Tanvi (1) - I guess not. But I am pissed right now. 
Tanvi (2) - I am pissed too. Just breathe. And stay quiet. You will thank me later. 

... and then Tanvi (1) uses all the will power in her to stay quiet and let the saner half of her brain take control of the situation. 

Just a few minutes in and I am already thankful that my better sense prevailed. If anything, in the past decade, I have learned that barring a few pivotal things/moments in life everything else is temporary. Time flies, circumstances change but spoken words and hurtful action can never truly be undone. As I grow up, my goal is to have as few unpleasant experiences as possible. Patience helps as lot.


On an unrelated topic, writing about patience today reminded me of this post ... for no particular reason.
