Why Get Patient?

What is Patience?

Patience is a virtue I did not desire much, it had never been that appealing to me. I was more into “seizing the moment” rather than “waiting” for things to happen.

There is wisdom however in doing things at the right time. If not, we would only spoil what could have been the most wonderful thing, like a butterfly waiting in her cocoon, or a punchline in a joke that can make our stomachs ache.

Patience indeed, has its own value. It is not a passivity, but an activity, an activity that requires utmost discipline and strength! It necessitates confidence and hope that things will turn out the way they were intended to be at just the right moment. It is being able to contain the power within, focus it and release it at the perfect moment it needs to be unleashed.

Agnes { Dear Joyce, Hi! I have been an avid reader of your blog about a year an a half ago when I too have been experiencing heartbreak and burden in my life.

It is not a perfect relationship, we do have our shares of ups and downs but we come out of each as a better individual and we grow and learn together through those past mistakes.

He doesn't care whether we be in public places like malls, offices etc he just feels he needs to, in his own terms, "vent out his spleen". He had called me many things and often times says that i am stupid. He said i needed to reform, and that the only way was "his way". for the past year i have been doing all he asks of me, i am not allowed to talk to my friends, neither am... } – Jan 24, 9:16 AM
