@89135

I have been pretty much the same my whole adult life. Pay little attention to things over which I have no control. Work vigorously for the things in which I believe, and be partially instrumental in them remaining the same, or being changed.

Always been pretty patient in most situations. Plan way ahead when there is a destination involved, thus never in a hurry, which for many is the cause(self induced) of their impatience.

Thank you, @89135.

It took me over 50 years to stop obsessing over and fighting things I had no control over and couldn't change. Life goes on anyway. Let someone younger worry about it.

So simple and so very spot on! I had a situation yesterday where in my younger days I would have gone ballistic! Granted, I was not happy about what happened, but I was pretty darn chill all things considered and did not blow my top! I considered the source and thought to myself --- it will be handled and not by me --- so why get spastic about it and just damage my own health!!!

@89135 Our sermon at church today was about the fruits of the spirit. Love, joy, and yes, patience. I am older and wiser now and know that life is short, don't rush it and you can't change it anyway.........Accept today and know that tomorrow is a gift from God and a new beginning.
