Patience – the Calm in a Storm

Patience is likely the most positive attribute a person can possess.  It is the calm in a storm and the helping hand that leads through tough times.  Patience is the salve that soothes anger and brings emotional control.  It freezes problems in their tracks and provides the time to come up with a solution.  Patience provides wisdom and discretion.  It gives others the permission to be human, listens to what the other person has to say, and empathizes with how they feel.  Patience is love.

In an emotionally charged situation, patience is often the last thing that comes to mind.  Taking a short, quiet pause and momentarily detaching from the situation may provide just enough of a break to allow the healing patience to flood in.
