Patience

Posted on by philipdodson

It is a hard thing to master.

However, in today’s world of instant expectation and instant disappointment, patience is a virtue that is worth acquiring.

It’s a question of adjusting our expectations and realising most of the good things in life take time.

The more we are prepared to be patient, the less disappointment we have in life and the more we appreciate things of real value.

Better to have a few wonderful things that take a while to come, than to have many shallow things that can come instantly and are of no worth.

Be patient, life works out well.

Create stories

Posted on by philipdodson

Today, we have just sat with family and listened to stories, we all have them, and they are the most important part of being a human being.

It is about memories, legacies that we will leave behind, it is the things that we cherish and remember at the end of our journeys.

It is what makes gatherings of people special, it is what makes us laugh, cry, and it is how people feel included, feel that they belong to something, were a part of a collective memory, it helps fill gaps in our own journeys and others.

We all love stories and treasure them.

In order to have these moments, we have to do things that will create the stories of the future for us, our friends and families to recount, to share, to treasure.

Live your life now, live it to create stories.

It’s what it is all about, it is the magic of life.
