Want Good Things to Happen to You? Try Patience
“Good things do come to those who wait.”
Abraham Lincoln
People don’t like being put on hold, waiting in line, or getting stuck in traffic. In the olden days, you had to wait for days for a letter to reach you through the post. Now you can send a text message across the world in a few seconds and expect a response back to you coming from the other side of the globe in no time.
We are living in a world where easy 24/7 access to technology, laptops, smartphones, regulate the speed at which we want things done. The expectation nowadays is for things to happen instantaneously; and when it doesn’t, we get frustrated even angry.

Schnitker people who exhibit impatience and irritability tend to report more health problems and difficulty sleeping. Being patient is a virtue that has been forgotten. In this article, I would like to help you get re-acquainted with this concept and to help me do that, I have sought advice from Mother Turtle.
