A comment I heard on ESPN Radio made me stop and think … they were talking about what the quarterbacks would need to do in the Super Bowl, and they said they would need to “see the world through patient eyes."
Isn't that what we all need to do? Isn't that a skill that can help us get through life with less stress than we need? Here are two ways to look at that ...
Life is long so take the time to be patient. What is happening right now, this minute, will be gone in a moment, whether that moment takes seconds, hours or days. Patient eyes allows us to take a longer view. After all, there is nothing that compares to the truly long view, the eternal view.
Life is short so take the time to be patient. Know that you are here for a finite period, so take in what you see but don't rush through it. Life will end soon enough ... as is sometimes said, speed kills. Take the time to be patient with those around you when they are there, because that time together is short. Too short.
