Cultivating patience

The ego demands that things move quickly. It seeks something to fix, to create, to resist. If no challenges are present, it will conjure one in order to keep the mind alive and busy. Ultimately, this constant mental activity blocks one\’s ability to be at peace in the present moment.

We live in an infinite universe. This planet, and the experiences it offers, is the very beginning of a long journey of awakening. Choose to enjoy it. Cultivating patience strengthens your capacity to relate to life from the higher levels of consciousness rather than the ego-driven desire of false personality.

Pause for a moment and feel whatever it is that you\’re feeling right now. Draw your attention inward. Are you at ease? Take the moments in life that require patience – waiting in line, sitting in traffic, expecting a return text or email – and transform them into powerful aspects of your spiritual work.
