Patience enables the fallen to become mighty once again. All of us will experience highs and lows throughout our lifetimes. Remaining permanently at the bottom of a cycle is unlikely.
Sometimes just exercising our capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset is all that is needed before we rise up again.
Hope/ Optimism
Being hopeful about future outcomes leading to confidence in your future success is key to the practice of patience. Waiting for good things to happen is easier when you are confident they will.
You may not be positive you will rise again to a level of greatness you once had or even exceed that of the past. Pushing hard to achieve this might work however there is likely a time when a combination of patience and well-timed effort will serve you better.
Savour the Opportunity
There is a common English saying “what goes around, comes around”. This, of course, can refer to both good and bad things returning but it does underscore the point that patience will probably lead to something.
Your objective is for your plans to lead to something good. Careful consideration and planning makes achievement of your goals more likely and the patience to plan is a key part of that.
Take your time, remain optimistic, most likely things will come around. Your time to rise and be mighty will arrive. Wait for it, be patient, watch for the opportunities and take them when when it makes sense.
