Show some Patience Part 2

Forgiveness also plays a big part, because not all people have the things you may have and there are always those that have less so to show patience in a situation can have a major impact on a person and be a real indicator of maturity when interacting with other people.  As young people we want our voice heard and we want to pronounce words over others and stake our claim at success.  But many do this with little regard for others and they consume time and effort to push themselves into situations where clearly they should leave the matter alone.  We may know more than the person we are interacting with and we may even be better qualified, but this does not give us a reason, to be impatient and intolerable to them.  If anything in our country, we need to exercise high levels of patience, because many were denied historically, the hope of nurturing and mentoring and teaching.  Thus now, when these opportunities are available to the next generation, they expect to be included and not to have things withheld from them.  Patience is listening before we act, thinking before we react, waiting before we criticise, forgiving before we pray and trying another way before quitting.  Never think that you cannot accept the challenge to become more patient and tolerable, but going through the motions is futile.  You need to place yourself in situations, where you can be in attendance when a boy or girl needs attention and nurturing and then you need to hold onto your judgement for long enough, to gauge the person you are interacting with and only then should we formulate an opinion, or express the opinion we are wanting to give.  Not only will the recipient be grateful for being treated with some respect, but also they may gain confidence, in a future relationship with you.  I appeal to us all, to strive for love, joy, peace, patience kindness, gentleness and self control.  The time and effort spent seeking and implementing these qualities, will never go unrewarded and we will gain valuable insight into the circumstances of others, to make us afar more intelligent company to keep.
