Patience is a virtue. Yes it can be, however there are many scenarios in which patience is absolutely not a virtue. Often, a phrase is coined and taken to heart as though it’s a fact and something to live by. In fact, often rather used as a judgment  through comment from one to another in conversation. Some of these coined phrases have become things to say or think to self and others. Often used in fitting circumstances to note there is something not occurring  and or an expectation isn’t being met.

Yes patience can be a virtue, however patience is a detriment if swift action is what is called for. Patience in certain situations might enable disrespectful and destructive behaviors.   Patience might very well be a way to avoid addressing internal emotions. Patience, like everything, can be a virtue as well as a detriment. Wake up in the circumstance and take notice of what qualities and actions are the most useful in the moment for all concerned.  Give yourself permission to step out of societal judgments, expectations and definitions.  Get into relationship with all that is going on, then interact in ways that enhance and create honoring and unconditionally loving behaviors. Patience isn’t always a virtue! In relationship counseling with Susan Newton this is one of the many things discussed. Waking up to different ways of looking at things can make all the difference in the world. As you make changes in your own world, the world around you changes due to your new perception. Taking different actions based on new thought processes is a sure fire way shift your perceptions.

Have patience where it’s called for and take action where action is called for. Begin to live your life with flexibility faith and confidence.
