Patience In The Workplace
So, what have I done about my impatience to try to become a little more patient? • Pray and ask God for patience. • Learn to stop and think things over for 24 hours before making a decision. While this is not always possible, I have learned to stop and think things through more often. • When working with people, don’t respond to what people say and how they act. My first response is normally not the best. I always remind myself that 90 percent of every human being is great. Judge them not by the 10 percent that we all have. • I always remind myself to slow down. Often, slower is faster in the long run. • It’s not always about my timeline. It doesn’t have to be done when Robert wants it done. While I don’t think I’ll ever be known for patience, just maybe by working on being more patient, I can say that I have learned a little patience.

A nyone that knows me would probably agree that patience is not a virtue of mine. I am probably known for my lack of patience. My lack of patience has probably caused me more challenges than I would ever care to admit. So, what have I learned about patience in my 58 years? 1. Impatience most often than not leads to bad decisions. 2. Impatience harms relationships. 3. Impatience causes you to look at things from the wrong worldview oftentimes.
