Stitched together with good intentions...

As I strive to become more patient I've learned something really interesting about myself.... I completely suck at being patient, ha. So, now that we have that out of the way, I will allow myself to move on and focus on the progress I've made in the last few weeks. I am grateful for some of the things I have learned about myself and for a greater sense of awareness as it's opening my eyes even further to some of the things that I need to be working on in order to make myself the best person I can be. I have learned that it is not necessary to get completely down on myself when I make a mistake, and that continuing to overanalyze and focus on the problem only gives strength and length to the life of the problem, whereas if I can just acknowledge it, feel it and come to some sort of resolution... it will get resolved faster and will be less likely to reoccur. 

I've learned that we are all going to make mistakes and fall short of expectations, both our own and those of others, and it's not necessarily what we've done or not done, but how we handle the problem that can either make the situation better or worse. So if I can pass along one piece of advice for both myself and others it would be this; have compassion. If you can treat yourself and others with compassion and understanding it will make your life a lot better!
