Patience is a Virtue

This is probably one of the keys to happiness and building lasting personal relationships. Those without patience, such as myself, really struggle with this and find enjoyment and relationships fleeting. So I really have nothing to say on this topic. I have no sage wisdom or guidance, I just recognize that I need to be more patient as God, the Universe, or even my friends and colleagues do what they can to help me. How many times have I cut someone off at the knees before they could finish helping me. How many times were they almost ready, and I bailed out before it could happen? How many times have I left success at the altar? How many times has God been waiting with open arms just to have me turn my shoulder and slump away in discouragement.

Geez, I have a lot to learn.
