Patience and the Art of Waiting

“All human wisdom is summed up in two words - wait and hope” Alexander Dumas
“Patience is the companion of wisdom.”Leo Tolstoy
“He that can have Patience, can have what he will”



It's a fact: we live in a fast food, on-demand, right here, right now, society.
This makes it difficult when there are times we have to wait, when the answers or solutions are not immediate. But we must remember our lives are not a McDonald's Drive-thru, our lives are, well, to state the obvious, our lives. I'm sure we've all heard as a child from an elder or our parents, "anything worth having is worth waiting for", well, there's a lot of truth to that adage. The best things in life are usually hardly obtained in an instant, they are obtained through hard work, patience, and non-passively waiting.
