Practice Patience Everyday
I’ve noticed that
some days
I’m really good
like when
someone cuts me off on my way to work,
I get mad
then I quickly forgive them
because they are probably
late for something important.
A few minutes later
I’m back to enjoying the song
on the radio.
Other days
that same guy
could cut me off
and I curse him out the whole way to work.
then when I’m at work
it takes me a half hour
to let it go
and get back to enjoying my day.
I shouldn’t
let the events of the day
decide
how I should feel
Instead…
I should be rational
and let my mind
decide how I’m going to feel.
This morning I made a vow
to practice patience
every day
no matter what other people do to me or my friends.
I am learning
compassion for others
because
it makes the day easier to enjoy.
