Living a life faced with different difficulties lead us to experience negative emotions such as; anger, fear, anxiety, depression and etc. in which based on own experienced, it brings no good to ourselves especially within our mental health and inner peace. Just imagined people who do not have any patience and acceptance within them, are they happy? Do they have any contentment within their lives? Or satisfied with the animosity they held within themselves? Yes, some of them perhaps tell that they are fine with it and it was somehow good but let us face the reality that no one will live a blissful life full of complaints and bitterness.
In fact, according to Harappa website, patience enable us to analyze things and situations beyond their face value. It also gave us inner peace and the ability to keep smiling despite challenges. Then there goes the involvement of acceptance that make patience more easier to achieve. Acceptance made it easier because if we accept something wether it is good or bad, we were happy with it or not, then we will likely to build our own strength in enduring patience. Without acceptance, our plan to have patience in everything may become fragile. Just like how Mukama Botanica says, "Patience's twin sister was Acceptance".
Having patience and acceptance is like surrendering oneself to what life may offer and does help us recognize difficulties as challenges that contributes to our own growth or even achieving success within our lives. The reason why it makes our life more pleasing and satisfactional is that it lead us to a more positive visions in life that may improved our own wisdom.
But these two often said to made our life somehow miserable and unfair why? because having patience and acceptance though there are some circumstances in life where we are being treated poorly and yet we tend to endure it every time when we encountered such matters in order for us to stay at peace was unimaginable. But after all, it is up to us on how do we apply these personalities depending on which was more often favorable to us.
Yes, we sometimes cannot helped being impatient and negative towards life but practicing these two great personality traits might help us in dealing with any situations that we encountered daily. As David Allen quoted: "Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind". Therefore let just accept our own shortcomings and what life has given and go on a journey with patience.
