How To Be More Patient In An Impatient World

We live in troubled times. We are surrounded by demands, expectations, and frustrations. So often, the squeaky wheel gets the attention, not the gracious individual holding the door for us. Some might say we’ve become a culture of impatience, and many might agree.

Impatience is easy to identify. We become irritable; we let anger and resentment surface; we may even articulate a few expletives just to further demonstrate our dissatisfaction. We’ve all seen impatience in action. 

Patience, on the other hand, may appear passive and polite. Patience is the ability to remain calm and composed in the face of adversity. But how do we become more patient and be the kind of person we want to be? Join us as we discuss our own struggles with impatience, and review an expert's suggestions for fostering it. 

At the end of the day, how do you want to be remembered? Ask yourself this question and give the episode a listen.
