Patience Young Jedi
So I was back at the Verizon store today and while I was waiting for the guy to put the new sim card in my new phone, he says to the tech lady he is on the phone with, "It's ok, Kelly is patient." I smiled and said, "yea, I am" It felt good to say!
Patience is such a learned skill and one that I have been working on for a while now. I use to get this heart ache being impatient(literally!!). Anxiety from hell!!
I see people all too often get so upset over so many things, looking stressed to the max, like everything is going wrong in their life. I can only imagine what IS going on in their life! (I know from experience how that goes)
While I was still waiting, a lady complimented me on my Tiffany necklace(I got it for my rank advancement in Beachbody:) so we started talking about Beachbody. She told me her story about needing to work on being healthy again and needed someone to give her that push she needs. Of course I told her, "I CAN FOR SURE DO THAT!" So we exchanged info :D
Just think, if I had not been patient, I would never have been "approachable" because of my sour attitude and would have missed the opportunity to meet a new friend and help her out.
The guy was finally done and said, "sorry you had to come all the way back here for this." I said to the guy, "ya know, what's the point in being upset? It's all good. I seek opportunity in every situation. It is what it is with the phone and look, I made a new connection:)" He smiled back and said, "yes, you are right!"
Seek opportunity in every situation, whether it be an opportunity to learn something new, to make new friends, to experience more, or just to learn more patience. :)
SLOW down in life, have patience and you may just find an opportunity waiting for you that will change your life.
