I define patience as an act of waiting or a state of being optimistic for a better tomorrow.
Nowadays people find it difficult to maintain patience although difficulty, suffering can struggles can be frustrating but one thing is sure, when you have patience, and also work, your time will definitely come.
Majority of people nowadays has find it difficult to maintain patience due to peer pressure, intimidation and depression. As a result, they go astray.
And the major causes of these three things is you yourself, when you give people the power to influence you negatively, then you go astray. The summary is when you give room for peer pressure, intimidation and depression, they all set in and live in you which will later result to self-reproach.
Something happened few months ago and it was all over the internet. It was a story of a guy who happens to be a university student, his friend were rich but he was not, he kept asking his friends how and where they’ve gotten their wealth from, non of them answered him but he kept frustrating them until one of his friends decided to explain things to him after which he has promised never to tell anyone about it.
Few months later, he bought his own car, he relocated from a room apartment to a self contain flat apartment, his story had changed within few months. He started going to clubs, he flaunt money and life was good at his end.
About some months later he posted a picture of himself on his WhatsApp status with the caption “ if I will die, I will love to die as a millionaire”.
Lo and behold his car had and accident the second day and he died. And That was the end of his life. A university student at that.
That’s why I said the major causes of peer pressure, intimidation and depression is you yourself.
Well I’ll sum it up and say it’s “covetousness” because if one is contented with what God has given to him or her, he or she should be thankful for what he has and also lookout for a better tomorrow with patience.
It’s actually a good thing to crave for wealth and all the good things of life but you will only have these things with peace of mind if only you are destined to have them.
So no rush in life, write down your plans, work on them, stay focus and be patience.
Thank you
