You can't rush good things

Patience is key to life.

You can go full force to life but some things take time and waiting. Those things cannot be rushed. With that being said it makes it feel like time drags on when it really doesn't.

If something does happen and it feels like it is slowing you down then maybe that is a good thing. It means there is something good to come. It's like baking a cake. you rush through the process of getting the batter together then you have to pop it in the oven.

Time slows down when you put in the oven right? You are so eager to eat the cake but it still is not done. When it is finally done you are happy and get to eat it.

Patience is key.

Stressed with work, school, or kids? Take a few deep breaths and breath. Everything will be fine. It takes patience to work with others no matter how bad you want to smash a head into a wall you have to be understanding. Things may not be so great for others.

Over time we see that patience is starting to wear down and we are getting more and more irritable with every little thing around us. No one is stopping and letting anything good happen.

Good things come with time. Nothing good comes from things that are rushed. Most rushed things are sloppy. It's time we all stopped and took time to smell the roses.

Because the most rushed thing is life and it seems like we all wanna grow up way to fast. Growing up too fast can be good or bad depending on how patience a person is.

You cannot rush into life with low patience and expect a good outcome. It can sometimes make situations worse than they are. Someone who goes into life with patience may see a better outcome with different aspects of life. Like a promotion, those things take time to achieve. You cannot just go into a place to get a job and expect to get a certain title. You have to earn it.

You earn it by working your way up. That is patience. Working for something without rushing to get it done.

Everything in life requires patience.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
