I’m wondering if anyone knows how to help me learn to be patient.

Patience may be a virtue, but it’s certainly not one of my strong points. Anyone have any ideas?

Hmm. To the google!

That last one looks particularly good.

Hope it helps.

Can you try to give us an example of some recent time that you now feel you were being too impatient

I guess I am really meaning right now. I am waiting for things to happen. Things that I have no control over. I know these things will happen, but Idon’t know when. I really don’t want to wait, but I guess I don’t have a choice. How do I settle myself?

Most people wouldn’t understand the what I’m waiting for, but I think many will understand the feelings that come with having to wait. So let’s leave it at that.

Well, knowing what you’re waiting for would help, I think… But, I could be wrong.

Now, this may sound blunt, but that’s only because I’m able to come up with softer words… You are **choosing** to make your happiness dependant upon these things you’re waiting for. Can you, for the time being, **choose** to make your happiness dependant on something else that you have control over. For example, something else that you’ve been procrastinating over for a while… Just choose something to accomplish, and make your happiness dependant on that.

Of course, the best thing to do is to learn to make your happiness dependant upon nothing… That way, you can just be happy whenever you want to be :-)

This the best post you have posted. Thank you for being vulnerable.
When I was young I took up meditation and it has taken me years but taught me patience.
The meditation I’m talking about it one where the point is to be without thought for a period of time.. 15 minutes or more.
The first step is to get in the typical position with your legs crosed or if you dont like this, then just sit in a chair or on the floor with your back supported but not too much.. you want a little uncomfortability to keep you aware.
Then just focus on your breathing… your chest and lungs. When a thought enters your head, don’t force it away or chide yourself for thinking it, just think it quickly and let it go.. it may take 15-20 minutes or more the first time to get to the point where you arent thinking, but after you do the feeling is incredibly refreshing.
The best part is after you meditate you can (and sometimes involuntarily) practice it as a patience tool easily without trying.

I wish you the best in your endeavor and hope you find peace with your newfound patience

Keep asking and you shall receive. (patience)
The world is passing away and so is its desire. Keep reading your BIBLE. Are you for the kingdom? Daniel 2:44 / Some people on this website do not want to search for the Bible and Bible truths. You must not give want is holy to….(i think if you read the Gospels you know what I mean) Help those that post need. You will start a fight if you look for one. thats my experience. Pray for a mild temper too…

Learning to draw and paint help develop patience as does gardening.
