Description
If there was one virtue that could alter the quality of your life, it might be patience. It has become the norm of our fast-paced world to expect everything to happen instantaneously and for us to become immediately aggravated when it doesn't. The restult is that we feel frantic and rushed, stressed and unhappy. Now, in The Power of Patience, Mary Jane Ryan teaches us how to reclaim the forgotten virtue of patience on a daily basis, and demonstrates how doing so allows us to make better decisions and to feel more positive about ourselves every day. The Power of Patience follows the classic format of short chapters built around a quotation, a story and a lesson. Ryan explores the Gifts of Patience, the Beliefs that Foster Patience, The Attitudes of Patience and the Practices of Patience. You'll learn that Patience Creates Excellence, and that Being Here Now can lower your anxiety and can help you to decide whether it is really necessary to act out of a sense of urgency.
