I continue to learn the power of patience, seeing and feeling more and more how it unlocks the magic of life. I was inspired to share a few affirmations and quotes about patience in the next calming concert. I hope they inspire you to invite patience into your life.
Quotes about Patience
“Nature does not hurry and yet everything is accomplished.” - Lao Tzu
“Inner peace is impossible without patience. Wisdom requires patience. Spiritual growth implies the mastery of patience. Patience allows the unfolding of destiny to proceed at its own unhurried pace." - Brian Weiss
"The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.” - Paulo Coelho
"Patience is to be calm no matter what happens, to constantly turn experiences into growth opportunities, and to have faith and believe that, while you are waiting, it will all work out in the end.” - Roy T. Bennett
“Have patience with everything that feels unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not yet be able to live them. The point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answers that you seek.” - Rainer Maria Rilke
“Don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up that you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one thread at a time.” - Haruki Murakami
“Trying to understand is like straining to see through muddy water. Have the patience to wait. Be still and allow the mud to settle.” - Lao Tzu
“Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind.” - David G. Allen
“The world gives us PLENTY of opportunities to strengthen our patience. While this truth can definitely be challenging, this is a good thing. Patience is a key that unlocks the door to a more fulfilling life. It is through a cultivation of patience that we become better parents, powerful teachers, great businessmen, good friends, and live a happier life.” - Steve Maraboli
“We have all been hurt. We have all had to learn painful lessons. We are all recovering from some mistake, loss, betrayal, abuse, injustice or misfortune. All of life is a process of recovery that never ends. We each must find ways to accept and move through the pain and to pick ourselves back up. For each pang of grief, depression, doubt or despair there is an inverse toward renewal coming to you in time. Each tragedy is an announcement that some good will indeed come in time. Be patient with yourself.” - Bryant McGill
