Being Patient
To be patient is to “bear provocation, annoyance, misfortune, delay, hardship, pain, etc., with fortitude and calm and without complaint, anger, or the like.” Being patient may lead to it’s rewards, but the hard part to getting those rewards is maintaining your patience. You have to constantly keep your mind straight; You have to constantly remember the big picture in your mind and not get sidetracked by the little details. There will be times when you cannot maintain your patience, and there will be times when you just want to explode all your thoughts out… and it’s okay to… There will, also, be times when you realize that you lost yourself through this whole process, but remind yourself of why are you here? why are you doing this? what was the big picture? what was your original goal? Think about these questions, and it will help you get back on track.
It’s hard to be patient. There are honestly many mental obstacles to go through while being patient. Sometimes, you will even find yourself doing stupid things because of your emotions- emotions get the best of you. It is really easy for one to fall into this emotional state, so you need to be able to identify it and put on the right mindset and then continue on with what you were doing…

Why are you here? why are you doing this? what was the big picture? what was your original goal?
yep, these are really good questions to ask oneself to get back on track. Thank you.

Yes. School and relationships are tough. Just try to keep yourself on track. Maybe this may help- I print out all my goals and quotes that I want to remember, and I post it on my wall to remind me. I try to read it once everyday and think about it.
@vrfamily
Hopefully they will help you in the future
damn, i agree. totally agree. and sometimes i feel like “ive been doing it so long, why get sidetracked now?” so block out the things that are trying to interrupt the process of moving on/being patient and do what you gotta do
@lamweena
Sometimes, we get sidetracked very easily because we can easily get caught up with life’s things. Being able to identify it and then getting back on track would be the ideal solution
