Patience

We've all heard how patience is a virtue. In theory I always understood that, but I think now I understand it on a different level. The things that had scared and saddened me a few months ago seem, to a degree, to be sorting themselves out (knocking on wood). In time, our desires can become reality, but that is if we do the things that are hardest to do: keep a positive attitude, work hard, and do the things within our control without attachment. And we may think we're being patient but instead, we are often times just ruminating in our minds about what we want, which is not really patience. Keeping positive thoughts and telling ourselves that "it will come in time" will create positive energy, in turn increasing the chances of getting what we want.
