Why Patience Is Power Patience is not in the act of waiting. Waiting is impatience. You are waiting for someone to reply, you are impatient. You are waiting for results, you are impatient. You are waiting for events to happen, you are impatient. Real patience is not in the act of waiting but in the act of loving your life. You loved someone, they left you. You don't wait for them, you just love your life by drowning in happiness with people you still have around. You did great work, you don't wait for results. You move on to the next new challenge with infinite curiosity. You surrender to the love of life without waiting for people, results or event to happen. When you do that you become the most patient human alive and people, results and events chase you for your love of life.
