Patience is one of our hardest lessons, perhaps the most

frustrating one to learn.   ...

    The key to patience is knowing that everything is going to

be fine, developing the faith that there is a plan. It is easy

to forget this, and therefore many people try to control

situations that would work out as they were meant to in

their own perfect time. Even at the end of life, some

accept that death is coming while others become

impatient and want to know  when. They are

reassured to hear that they will not die before they are

ready.

    This is true about death and it is true about life. You

will not be given any life experiences before you are

ready, when you find the trust and develop the

understanding that things are moving the way they're

supposed to and in their own time. Then you can

relax.
