I smiled so.....BIG when I read your precious quote and I thought....if every person would apply this in their own lives they might begin to see those who are also trying because they care about other's lives.
When the plane is delayed, when my work doesn't immediately bear fruit, when I'm stuck in traffic late for a meeting, I become aware of the knot growing in my gut, and I release that rising tension by taking three deep breathes and laughing at my own expectation that the world should bend to MY convenience ("It figures. Haha!"). Especially when I remember that so many others have been also waiting for valuable opportunities I recognized and accepted very long ago. I count my blessings and say to myself, "Everything is exactly the way it's supposed to be. It can't be otherwise. If only I could get young folk to recognize THIER opportunities." I also recognize this is the benefit of age and having achieved half of my goals. I can AFFORD to be more patient than a young person. But a young person could do so much MORE to motivate their age!
I appreciate your comment, i’ve been practicing breathing when I get stuck by a light and I’m in a hurry, or when I’m waiting for my water bottle and fill up and I need to get out the door lol!
As we get older we become more patient. As we run out of time we slow down because we learned that impatience doesn't work. It doesn't make anything happen any faster.
As we age we are more conditioned to comply with nature by it's erosive force on our tendency to resist. Impetuous youth just hasn't yet been broken in.
Also, old people experience time much faster, so when you’re 60 things might seem just right instead of a 10 year old waiting what feels like decades between Xmas and birthdays.
I love my impatience partially, it’s like a voice asking why EVERYTHING in life moves at a snail’s pace. I’m 34 and have yet to become patient when it seems that everybody around you is incompetent and slow. 🤷
@@_..-.._..-.._ You’re a silly head.😄 If for example you were stuck in traffic, would you sit there and freak out in impatience knowing the whole time that it will change nothing? Or would you accept the fact that the traffic situation is out of your control and occupy yourself constructively with the free time? Option #1 is incompetent and option #2 is intelligence.
In todays world we are used to get gratified quickly, we are addicted to mobile phones, we watch yt, we switch cannels if we don't like something, we discard people easily, we are just spoiled brats and todays society encourage this kind of lifestyle; but this can go on only until one point, life will not spare me or you. To learn patience is a great thing, a great gift that one can give themselves, and others too. It is very hard thing to do. Many people notice that I am patient, but really I am very impatient inside, I guess I look patient. I wish to become more serene. Thank you for your video.
I took an art class at a community college several years ago. There was one student from whom I learned so much. We would both stay after class to work on our projects. He would patiently sit with his materials until the understanding of what he would do with them came to his mind. Sometimes he would sit for hours in patient silence. His 3-D creations were always my favorite.
When you do nothing you don't distrub anything and everything becomes clearer and calmer. So just sit still and watch what happens. Watch what ever comes up even thoughts and feelings and don't interact with it in anyway.
and if that DISTURBANCE come at you, attacking?? what THEN do you do??? !!! You're forced to interact whether you like it or not, or RUN. ( I do not run).
“By having patience with people we not only neutralize their power to disturb our peace of mind but we also accept their flaws and thus their humanity.”
When I get impatient I remind myself that life has no meaning or purpose so there isn't anything to rush to, I can fulfill my life purpose with just being miserable where I am now.
Well said over the last couple of weeks I've been so miserable waiting for a guy that I like to give me some more crumbs and I just said you know what whatever I'll just be miserable I can't force him to communicate and I obviously do not want to leave
I used to rush to work (speed). I was always angry while doing so, cussing out other drivers as well as stop lights...these things thwarted me from getting to work, doncha know? I'd be stressed and in a bad mood when I got to work, thinking the worse of co workers, and continuing the impatience. Needless to say, I wasn't happy. Then I started practicing mindfulness and decided to drive that way. Wow, what a difference! I go no more than a couple miles above the speed limit, stop lights are now opportunities to breathe...and what I found is I got to work in about the same amount of time, but no stress, no anger. I'm still working on being more patient, but the experiences I've had with it show me that while it can be difficult cultivating this, the effort really does pay off.
“Groomed to be impatient “ is a good phrase. Advertisers often sell speed. Drive through food is on every corner. Every class has deadlines and our bosses ask us to finish things faster.
Especially by parents who constantly compares you with your siblings or peers, they make patience difficult, usually they guilt trip you into believing they may die soon.....it so manipulative and energy draining
"Time is the greatest vengeance." someone once told me when a couple of people wronged me and I wanted revenge. That same person said to me. "Do nothing. Just sit and wait patiently. Time will bring your revenge. Just wait". Turns out that two years later, he was right. Probably not what Budda had in mind being him against revenge and negative feelings but karma trully is a thing
You're applying the context of you being wronged by those two people onto the events that later occured. Pain is a major component of reality and so it's inevitable to fall upon us all...bad person or good.
I believe intention is karma. Those you speak of had bad intentions that finally caught up with them. You live life with good intent, good things happen.
Patience is powerful. It can help us persevere, reduce stress, and overcome challenges. Patience may be a virtue, but it's something I often find challenging.
Back in 1988, I took my little niece to Expo 88, in Brisbane. She missed out on watching the high divers jump 100 metres into a pool. So she asked if we could sit and wait for the next show, that was two hours away. But I didn't want to disappoint her so I agreed. About 10 minutes before the show started she had to go to the toilet. I asked the person behind us to hold our spot, we got in with maybe 1 minute to spare. This lesson on patience came from a little 8 year old girl.
this couldn't be more timely. i'm currently in a huge slump in my life and my amazing gf has constantly reminded me to stay patient and things will clear up and work out in the end. there's nothing i can do about my current situation but to just enjoy life in the present moment. ^__^
Often our understanding of slumps in life are rooted in our desire to maintain or improve our status. For those who are trying to maintain an image for their audience it's diffcult to be patient. Stop competing with yourself for recognition in the society. The people around you whom you wish to prove your worth to don't actually matter as much as you think. Those who really care about you want your time and indulgence not your status.
I spent the first half of 2022 rushing everything trying to find peace. I started forcing myself to sit still and watch what's happening around me. I've never felt more peaceful, I feel like I'm where I need to be, I've never felt that before. I feel free
When I was a teenager at a boarding school of the Salesians in Portugal, every morning we had this gathering with some reading and chanting from a little book. In that book there was a story like this of Buda. An impatient man was told to watch the bottom of a well right after the wise man have collected a bucket of water. "I see nothing!", says the impatient man. "Now wait. Watch again.", says the wise man; "Now I can see myself mirrored in the water!". I keep this story with me since I was 10.
In the end we are always rewarded for our good will, our patience, fairmindedness, and gentleness with what is strange; gradually, it sheds its veil and turns out to be a new and indescribable beauty
yes! this is what i realized a while back! that people cause their own mental pain a lot of the time, be it anxiety, stress, anger. It seems like theyre choosing to be stressed at times when they dont bother changing how they act, people are so strange man.
When it comes to increasing tolerance for others, I'm reminded of the Ojibwa Native American proverb: "There is no tree with branches so foolish as to fight amongst themselves.". Another timely video!✌🎋
Genuinely, when I'm having an acute experience of anxiety (not an anxiety attack mind you) this video helps me more than meditation. It reminds me that patience in and of itself can be the reward, even when the outcome of what you're waiting on doesn't go your way. Being able to look back on how you acted and reflected, and be proud of that, is infinitely more valuable than getting the object of your desire alone. Powerful video, thank you for posting.
Just in case no one has told you lately, I'm proud of you ❤️For moving through the mess no matter how hard it is at times . For building resilience and strength every single time you get back up after a long and treacherous fall . For getting up every day despite the heaviness that has settled into your heart . For having the courage to persevere through the storm . For holding on to the hope that something better is awaiting you on the other side of the mountain . For continuing to cradle that hope when everything around around you is unknown . That takes strength, bravery, courage, & that is something worth being proud of ❤️👑
I needed this. It’s possible that impatience is the root cause of my ongoing work-specific depression. I’ve been casting blame on all sorts of externals in a way that seems to fit the profile of an impatient person. Work to be done.
I definitely find power in aligning with the flow of nature, allowing myself to be guided by the current in a way. What I aim to develop is faith in the process. Sometimes the current - being in the middle of a situation or happening - can feel overwhelming and cause me to act out instead of surrendering & returning to an inner stillness. I really appreciate these videos! 💗
At the same time, i feel like impatience isn't a bad thing. Just like the perceived "negative emotions," like anger, fear, etc., help us realize that something is wrong. It can help take action like if someone forgets to call you. Do got to work on my patience and let go tho XD
Love is the foundation of everything good-kindness, patience, empathy, compassion, tolerance, benevolence, cooperation, consideration. When love is, the self is not. When love is, there are no wars. *_Without love and sense of humor life is meaningless._* 💕☮🌎🌌
Man, you are my super hero. I wish I could meet you and tell you that how much positive impact your channel has already brought to my life. This video is so timely. I was in great tension and this has almost relieved it completely.
Verse>> Galatians 5:22 ESV (But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, Peace, Patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,) some believe impatience is a sin...
Mr. E. I am an enormous fan of your work![ Drop the Mic.] Well actually I won’t drop the Mic., as I feel it important to let you know how the seeds of a feeling of myself being drawn towards Yin / Yang And the symbol of balance - ie one exists mainly due to its opposite…”can’t have one without the other “ Along with some years of Martial Arts Training at different ages etc. Your synthesizing the music the images the videos the clarity! I am Grateful- I have adopted a daily practice of meditation over the last year + and this time of learning quiet peaceful checking in with myself has been the most important shift in my well-being and your work is one of my powerful resources ! I appreciate it tremendously!!! Thank you Cory Hewitt
Very powerful reflection of the importance of learning to wait, to stand still and breath before we respond to the different challenges life bring to us. Patience is one of the abilities I have been training on for almost 4 years and it is worth it all the way through. Your videos and books have been a key in my journey and are helping me to guide my family. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing information that is having such a great impact in our lives.
Thank you Handsome Dutchman for this essay on patience. Because of you and another teacher, Michael Mirdad, my troublesome THREE year conflict with a neighbor has ended. After listening and practicing these lessons learned, I came to FINALLY realize that I WAS THE PROBLEM!! We humans sure put ourselves through a lot of suffering when Ego leads us. At 76 years on Earth I feel like, at long last, I am now a mature Grown Up. WHEW! Patience has indeed paid great dividends...and it saves ENERGY too, a blessing at my age. Thank you from my whole heart.
School teaches us to make irrational Decisions . For example doing a math test in la limited amount of time, that forces us to choose answers under pressure without taking care of multiple verifications which help us to reassure about rationality of our answer
Society gives you a possible fulfillment of material wealth, patiente gives your security of the soul. I love your videos, it's like having a wise chat with a friend while admiring nature.
Wow , I searched for how to be patient, and I knew I had to change myself if I would have to cope with my situation… then comes in the quotes…” when we are unable to change our situation, we tend to change ourselves “ well said at the right moment.exactly what I needed to engrave in myself 👍🏼
"The fruits of patience is sweet" been hearing this all my life. I wish I had more patience. There is no point in me being impatient right from the start and then afterwards saying I am going to be patient when that is the only solution.
I came to the conclusion that everything in personal development is summarised in the concept of "patience". But not only mastering the personal behavior, this also greatly enhanced all my social interactions with everyone else.
This video is so beautifully thought out. I’m guessing your patience helped your creativity show in this video. You know,, I was starting to think something was wrong with me because everyone around me is so impatient. Meanwhile I don’t get frustrated for things I can’t control. This just made me feel better about myself especially, living in New York City.
Benefit #4 is the most difficult to me, as an ADHD guy. ADHDs have less basal dopamine than normal, so we tend to crave instant gratification more than normal (that's why we crave novelty, and end up with dozens of unfinished projects). If the desired outcome is too far, we quit. At the same time, the video has a solution at 8:48. Focusing on the process, instead of focusing on the results. The idea is to value the small wins, being happy with "I went to the gym 3 times this week", instead of valuing the effort just when "I lost 2kg"
I think it's really cool that you decided to watch this video and came away from it with that advice. I hope the projects you set out to do from here on out become completed in time using that strategy. It's very dificult for most of us to achieve our larger goals, especially when faced with the added challenge of a disorder like ADHD. We all are faced with our own unique challenges; some big and some small, however it's the actions we take in spite of what limits us that define us most and gets us to where we desire to be. From what you said in your comment, I feel you have the right mindset and are on track to remaining focused on achieving the things that matter most to you.
my signal was bad so waited patiently for this video to load… and man you always outdo yourself. the story of the buddha and his disciple made me want to go back to meditation. it takes time for the mud to settle and clarity to emerge. and the simplicity of your explanations shows how profound it is. thanks so much for these, may the taoist and stoic masters bless your soul
Patience - Watching the whole video without skipping a single time. jk I really need this message. I'm impatient and it fuels my anxiety. I started to practice slow living to get rid of my mental burden.
Thanks for the amazing video. Natural of laws, being patient not make someone weak. Patient is a power, the power to control oneself, not letting any unimportant things to ruin it.
*Fear, The Greatest Hinderance To Success* Fear is the primary reason people fail, or even don’t start something in the first place. But living your life in fear will only cause disappointment in the long run. After all, “we miss 100% of the shots we don’t take,” so don’t let fear stop you from taking your shot. I LOVE YOU 😘🔥❤️
Starting the day by listening to 1 or more of these teachings is so very helpful and strengthening. Wisdom and insights come more often and in greater clarity WITH PRACTICE. Thank you Handsome Dutchman!!!!
All my life I was angry for the things I can't and couldn't achieve sooner, I used to break stuffs and soon make fun of myself, Quarelling with parents and family. Thank you so much for the video, I will try to learn patience and not want instant success like a tool.
I will give my son the patience to get through his time where he is at currently all his desperation anger frustration will be removed from his shoulders he will focus on his task and goals. I will seal his healing strongly
I have been impatient all of my life. Being a parent greatly increased my patience, but lack of patience is still my biggest fault. Almost 60. I still have hope, tho.
Thanks Einzelgänger! You always find the right words and I hope one day I will act more according to your videos and not just watch them. Changing yourself and your life is such a huge task that nobody has any idea how huge is task actually is!!!
I am the age of 51,and i have been having this problem my whole life. I just could not find a way to deal with people and situations without losing my mind. This has helped me so much to put in the perspective that I am giving away my power and i look foolish by getting angry. PATIENCE IS POWER. I AM GOING TO TATTOO THAT ON MY NECK
I wait "impatiently" for your videos every week!! (pun intended lol) I could say that this is my new favorite video, out of all the ones posted on this channel, great advices as always. You have no idea how much you've helped me throughout the last few of years. Keep up the great work. Thank you from NC!! 🇺🇸
Right now , someone is grateful for the impact you've had on them . Someone is staring at your soul - filled art in their homes and tearing up at the magic your hands created . Someone is reading your heartfelt words and feeling less alone in this world . Someone is laughing uncontrollably at the memories you share . Someone is remembering the kindness of a stranger and praying that you are healthy and whole . Someone is blessed to have known you , to have felt your love in its entirety even if it was for a brief moment in time . Someone is in awe of you and the imprint you leave on the world . Someone is inspired by your courage and strength and using it as a catalyst to dig into their own hearts , their own healing . Right now , someone out there is thankful that you exist 🙏🏻❤️
aakkii2123 I see that you enjoy leaving encouraging comments. Me too. I did have a problem before EXPECTING acknowledgement. When no one responded my stupid ego was upset. Now, thank God, I give without needing praise or thanks. Always nice to read your kind words. It does feel good to be encouraging doesn't it?
@@joannaedwards6325 yeah when your own life is shit, you expect to see some positive things thinking it will help to cope your shitty life but I learned a lesson from quote that one who plants the trees without knowing who is going to sit in shade has understood the meaning of life.
Okay so I am watching a video about patience and the first thing I automatically did was check how long is the intro to know if I want to skip it. I guess that tells me something :)
The life lessons that I've learned about the importance of being patient & observant has helped me be more peaceful and intentional in life. I'm more aware of it now & I've noticed that it has become less common because of information like this. Thanks for sharing ! Positive Vibes to everyone, KJP
Note to self: the hard part is knowing whether things are actually out of our control, or whether we're just discouraging ourselves out of learned helplessness. Sometimes rushing may hurt, but sometimes it may also help us reach success, and it's not always easy to tell which applies to us. (Of course, when we are truly unable to change our circumstances, then there's nothing to do except wait.) Also, I'm not sure if I agree that benefit #4 demonstrates the value of focusing on process over results. Sometimes going through the process really sucks, and the only reason we persevere through them is because we expect to be rewarded by results at the end. If anything, in those situations we should focus *more* on results (while acknowledging that they may only appear much later). As usual, it is incredibly difficult to give general life advice because life is complicated
Maybe the hardest seasons of life teach you a different version of happiness . Maybe in those seasons , the things you live for , the things you value most , seem so small in comparison to what you were filling your soul with in the past , seem so quiet in contrast . Maybe it is within those moments that your eyes are opened , that you learn how to find joy , and peace , and safety in that which you didn't even notice before . Maybe in the seasons of life where your heart aches , or loss has built a home within you , happiness changes . Maybe it becomes your morning cup of coffee sitting and drinking it as the sun rises and the world wakes up around you . Maybe happiness becomes the way the sky looks at your favorite time of night , the way the moon fills the air with an energy you can feel in your bones when you really sit with yourself and let your solitude wash over you . Maybe in the messiest moments of life , happiness is your mother's voice . Maybe it is the beauty you feel when you see your friends ' faces , when you hug them for twenty minutes straight , when you sit with them in silence and feel understood , and seen , and held , in all that you are . Maybe in the most complicated moments happiness simplifies in a deeply profound way . Maybe it exists in the songs you listen to and the way your pen scratches across your journal in the morning . Maybe it exists in the quiet , in the moments where you fully connect with yourself and you love yourself and you are kind to yourself in all that is unvarnished and unanswered in your life . Maybe the hardest seasons of your journey teach you that happiness is small . That it exists in the stillness , that it echoes through you in the most nameless moments . And maybe the hardest seasons of life teach you that those moments aren't small at all . That those fleeting experiences , that those simple encounters , have always been saving you , have always been the things that truly mattered . Existence wants you to be You
I am working on being patient letting others finish talking first before I get my turn to speak. I need to do better on being patient to get what I want and desire.
"Impatience is the unwillingness to live life at the pace that it actually happens." Wow, great quote!
I didn't notice that!!! Thanks
This is at 2:37
My shit on .25 speed in hell its nice good ole human experience

I smiled so.....BIG when I read your precious quote and I thought....if every person would apply this in their own lives they might begin to see those who are also trying because they care about other's lives.
The more patient I am, the faster I get the things I want. Things always take longer when I'm impatient.
love that
It's strange how that is actually true. We let go and something takes over.
True!
Lies
That’s true!!
I always tell people
"do it the slow way, it's faster"
then get confused expressions...

love your takeaway, we view our times as so sacred we think we cannot afford patience
I appreciate your comment, i’ve been practicing breathing when I get stuck by a light and I’m in a hurry, or when I’m waiting for my water bottle and fill up and I need to get out the door lol!
Thanks Rick, your words are inspiring as I face my greatest challenge.
Funny as a young person I tell myself that I can be patience as I have more time in my life
Sad most of us can never realize how lucky we are at times to maybe have escaped a horrible fate after such a minor inconvenience skews our timeline
As we get older we become more patient. As we run out of time we slow down because we learned that impatience doesn't work. It doesn't make anything happen any faster.

If you are feeling miserable where you are then you are still feeling impatient due to the need to change your state of mind.
Seems dumb to me bro
i dig what you are saying. I'm miserable a lot of the time these days and am looking forward to it finishing
Lol- life has no meaning?

Teach that in Detroit 😅
As a person groomed to be impatient, this resonates with me. Thank you. Your videos are always top notch.
“Groomed to be impatient “ is a good phrase. Advertisers often sell speed. Drive through food is on every corner. Every class has deadlines and our bosses ask us to finish things faster.

I agree.. when things are not in your hand.. just have patience and live your life.. things will be balanced with time.. no need of intervention.
You're applying the context of you being wronged by those two people onto the events that later occured. Pain is a major component of reality and so it's inevitable to fall upon us all...bad person or good.
You did nothing that they did not put upon themselves - the only thing you did was put it on yourself.
I believe intention is karma. Those you speak of had bad intentions that finally caught up with them. You live life with good intent, good things happen.
I wanted to kill someone after he wronged me. On my birthday he passed away. Karma really is a bitch
Patience is powerful. It can help us persevere, reduce stress, and overcome challenges. Patience may be a virtue, but it's something I often find challenging.
Thanks for sharing ur thoughts
So it true
Rasta from Supa Strikas learned patience in a clever way by using parrot.
Back in 1988, I took my little niece to Expo 88, in Brisbane. She missed out on watching the high divers jump 100 metres into a pool. So she asked if we could sit and wait for the next show, that was two hours away. But I didn't want to disappoint her so I agreed. About 10 minutes before the show started she had to go to the toilet. I asked the person behind us to hold our spot, we got in with maybe 1 minute to spare. This lesson on patience came from a little 8 year old girl.
Having patience is so important. And yet, difficult to achieve at times.
Patience is mostly used by waiting for "dead" torrents to download.
Patience is bitter but it's results are sweet.
परिक्षा की घड़ी कितनी ही कठोर हो, सब्र का फल मीठा होता है|
There is no such thing as patience, only resistance to 'what is'. Sounds corny right? Unfortunately, I believe this to be true.
@@AS-rk5vb don't you mean acceptance of what is?
@@AS-rk5vb does it not depend on the circumstances and also to what someone is waiting for?
Should rhyme with “sweeter.”

You’re lucky, my wife seems to do the opposite to me. She’s a great person, but not big on encouragement 😢
Often our understanding of slumps in life are rooted in our desire to maintain or improve our status. For those who are trying to maintain an image for their audience it's diffcult to be patient.

When I was a teenager at a boarding school of the Salesians in Portugal, every morning we had this gathering with some reading and chanting from a little book.
In that book there was a story like this of Buda. An impatient man was told to watch the bottom of a well right after the wise man have collected a bucket of water. "I see nothing!", says the impatient man. "Now wait. Watch again.", says the wise man; "Now I can see myself mirrored in the water!".
I keep this story with me since I was 10.
In the end we are always rewarded for our good will, our patience, fairmindedness, and gentleness with what is strange; gradually, it sheds its veil and turns out to be a new and indescribable beauty
Till now , i only got reward of getting laid off by two jobs on being patient 😔
yes! this is what i realized a while back! that people cause their own mental pain a lot of the time, be it anxiety, stress, anger. It seems like theyre choosing to be stressed at times when they dont bother changing how they act, people are so strange man.
When it comes to increasing tolerance for others, I'm reminded of the Ojibwa Native American proverb: "There is no tree with branches so foolish as to fight amongst themselves.". Another timely video!✌🎋
Love this proverb! Thank you :)
@chuck 8094 shut up chuck no one asked you for that made up story
@chuck 8094 a troll calling someone else a troll, great stuff lol
@chuck 8094 Lol I know, you crack me up
Patience is a refined sense of confidence
Genuinely, when I'm having an acute experience of anxiety (not an anxiety attack mind you) this video helps me more than meditation. It reminds me that patience in and of itself can be the reward, even when the outcome of what you're waiting on doesn't go your way.
Being able to look back on how you acted and reflected, and be proud of that, is infinitely more valuable than getting the object of your desire alone. Powerful video, thank you for posting.
I appreciate your perspective
12:59 "listen before we speak". This is why we have two ears and only one mouth.
Just in case no one has told you lately, I'm proud of you ❤️For moving through the mess no matter how hard it is at times . For building resilience and strength every single time you get back up after a long and treacherous fall . For getting up every day despite the heaviness that has settled into your heart . For having the courage to persevere through the storm . For holding on to the hope that something better is awaiting you on the other side of the mountain . For continuing to cradle that hope when everything around around you is unknown . That takes strength, bravery, courage, & that is something worth being proud of ❤️👑
I'm proud of you for sharing such an awesome post!
Wow!! Absolutely beautiful. Thank you. I'm touched deeply. Just in case no one has told you lately, I'm proud of you too!
Thanks for being The Encourager.
I needed this. It’s possible that impatience is the root cause of my ongoing work-specific depression. I’ve been casting blame on all sorts of externals in a way that seems to fit the profile of an impatient person. Work to be done.
The world is temporary, afterlife is Eternal. I advise that you work after ranks of paradise. A world of Perfect perfection!!!
Thanks, Kenneth! All the best.

Great video!
"Patience means tolerance, wisdom, strength and equanimity. So, that's why patience is power."
I definitely find power in aligning with the flow of nature, allowing myself to be guided by the current in a way. What I aim to develop is faith in the process. Sometimes the current - being in the middle of a situation or happening - can feel overwhelming and cause me to act out instead of surrendering & returning to an inner stillness. I really appreciate these videos! 💗
Pray 🙏🏻
At the same time, i feel like impatience isn't a bad thing. Just like the perceived "negative emotions," like anger, fear, etc., help us realize that something is wrong. It can help take action like if someone forgets to call you. Do got to work on my patience and let go tho XD
Love is the foundation of everything good-kindness, patience, empathy, compassion, tolerance, benevolence, cooperation, consideration. When love is, the self is not. When love is, there are no wars.

Man, you are my super hero. I wish I could meet you and tell you that how much positive impact your channel has already brought to my life.
This video is so timely. I was in great tension and this has almost relieved it completely.
I passed many years of my life like this but I have no regret because that time I had patient this is the power of patient.
God delivered this message to me today. I have been praying for more patience, and stumbled upon this video. Thank you!
Lol no. TH-cams algorithm delivered it. You are braindead
there is no god
Was it god? Or maybe algorythm? ;)
Verse>> Galatians 5:22 ESV (But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, Peace, Patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,) some believe impatience is a sin...
Ahhh serendipity. When the student is ready the teaching appears. The universe (God) is always on your side and ever present to help us grow. 🙏
Mr. E.
I am an enormous fan of your work![ Drop the Mic.]
Well actually I won’t drop the Mic., as I feel it important to let you know how the seeds of a feeling of myself being drawn towards Yin / Yang
And the symbol of balance - ie one exists mainly due to its opposite…”can’t have one without the other “
Along with some years of Martial Arts Training at different ages etc.
Your synthesizing the music the images the videos the clarity!
I am Grateful- I have adopted a daily practice of meditation over the last year + and this time of learning quiet peaceful checking in with myself has been the most important shift in my well-being and your work is one of my powerful resources !
I appreciate it tremendously!!!
Thank you
Cory Hewitt
This is without a doubt one of the best channels in existence. Thank you!
Very powerful reflection of the importance of learning to wait, to stand still and breath before we respond to the different challenges life bring to us. Patience is one of the abilities I have been training on for almost 4 years and it is worth it all the way through. Your videos and books have been a key in my journey and are helping me to guide my family. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing information that is having such a great impact in our lives.
Stoicism and patience has saved my life. Thanks for this video
Thank you Handsome Dutchman for this essay on patience. Because of you and another teacher, Michael Mirdad, my troublesome THREE year conflict with a neighbor has ended.
After listening and practicing these lessons learned, I came to FINALLY realize that I WAS THE PROBLEM!!
We humans sure put ourselves through a lot of suffering when Ego leads us. At 76 years on Earth I feel like, at long last, I am now a mature Grown Up.
WHEW! Patience has indeed paid great dividends...and it saves ENERGY too, a blessing at my age.
Thank you from my whole heart.
School teaches us to make irrational
Decisions . For example doing a math test in la limited amount of time, that forces us to choose answers under pressure without taking care of multiple verifications which help us to reassure about rationality of our answer
Society gives you a possible fulfillment of material wealth, patiente gives your security of the soul. I love your videos, it's like having a wise chat with a friend while admiring nature.
Wow , I searched for how to be patient, and I knew I had to change myself if I would have to cope with my situation… then comes in the quotes…” when we are unable to change our situation, we tend to change ourselves “ well said at the right moment.exactly what I needed to engrave in myself 👍🏼
"The fruits of patience is sweet" been hearing this all my life. I wish I had more patience. There is no point in me being impatient right from the start and then afterwards saying I am going to be patient when that is the only solution.
THIS CHANNEL SAVED MY LIFE!
Needed this...Thanks again.
I came to the conclusion that everything in personal development is summarised in the concept of "patience". But not only mastering the personal behavior, this also greatly enhanced all my social interactions with everyone else.
This video is so beautifully thought out. I’m guessing your patience helped your creativity show in this video. You know,, I was starting to think something was wrong with me because everyone around me is so impatient. Meanwhile I don’t get frustrated for things I can’t control. This just made me feel better about myself especially, living in New York City.
I wasn't surprised to learn that patience takes the longest to master.
Benefit #4 is the most difficult to me, as an ADHD guy. ADHDs have less basal dopamine than normal, so we tend to crave instant gratification more than normal (that's why we crave novelty, and end up with dozens of unfinished projects). If the desired outcome is too far, we quit.
At the same time, the video has a solution at 8:48. Focusing on the process, instead of focusing on the results. The idea is to value the small wins, being happy with "I went to the gym 3 times this week", instead of valuing the effort just when "I lost 2kg"
The goal of all life is death. Prioritize the afterlife which is Eternal. Paradise! A world of perfect perfection!!!
I think it's really cool that you decided to watch this video and came away from it with that advice. I hope the projects you set out to do from here on out become completed in time using that strategy.
It's very dificult for most of us to achieve our larger goals, especially when faced with the added challenge of a disorder like ADHD. We all are faced with our own unique challenges; some big and some small, however it's the actions we take in spite of what limits us that define us most and gets us to where we desire to be.
From what you said in your comment, I feel you have the right mindset and are on track to remaining focused on achieving the things that matter most to you.
Patience according to Sun Tzu
*_"If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by."_*
my signal was bad so waited patiently for this video to load… and man you always outdo yourself. the story of the buddha and his disciple made me want to go back to meditation. it takes time for the mud to settle and clarity to emerge. and the simplicity of your explanations shows how profound it is. thanks so much for these, may the taoist and stoic masters bless your soul
Patience without force is the way. I tend to think of my efforts as a process like cultivation.
Surely humanity is in ˹grave˺ loss, except those who have faith, do good, and urge each other to the truth, and urge each other to perseverance.
This message is so powerful in modern times and is very relevant for me right now. Thank you for your amazing content.
You know, I’ve been postponing a solo trip to NY for ages because of fear, but you gave me such an inspiration!
Patience - Watching the whole video without skipping a single time. jk
I really need this message. I'm impatient and it fuels my anxiety.
I started to practice slow living to get rid of my mental burden.
Thank you so much for taking the time for making this video. You're words lifted my spirits up and to continue to be patient
I've used the bamboo story before. It's so powerful. He lost his family he was called crazy. But he never lost hope.
Thanks for the amazing video. Natural of laws, being patient not make someone weak. Patient is a power, the power to control oneself, not letting any unimportant things to ruin it.
13:10 (Patience) “strengthens our overall position with the outside world and ourselves”. Wow! So profound and so true.
My favorite TH-cam channel, appreciate these uploads and your quality content!
*Fear, The Greatest Hinderance To Success*
Fear is the primary reason people fail, or even don’t start something in the first place. But living your life in fear will only cause disappointment in the long run. After all, “we miss 100% of the shots we don’t take,” so don’t let fear stop you from taking your shot.
I LOVE YOU 😘🔥❤️
Yup!
I like to say that to be happy . . .all we NEED to do is . . . flow with The Big Show and stay UNAFRAID. 😊
Waiting for the best is not a loss; it is a gain. Just choose right and have patience. What is to come will eventually come 😊
Patience is love, success and happiness❤
Fulfillment > Success 💪🏾 a lot of successful folks joined the 27 club
Starting the day by listening to 1 or more of these teachings is so very helpful and strengthening. Wisdom and insights come more often and in greater clarity WITH PRACTICE.
Thank you Handsome Dutchman!!!!
I’ve been practicing Zen for many years and read Stoicism For Inner Peace. Stoicism and Buddhism compliment each other. Great book!
All my life I was angry for the things I can't and couldn't achieve sooner, I used to break stuffs and soon make fun of myself, Quarelling with parents and family. Thank you so much for the video, I will try to learn patience and not want instant success like a tool.
I will give my son the patience to get through his time where he is at currently all his desperation anger frustration will be removed from his shoulders he will focus on his task and goals. I will seal his healing strongly
I have been impatient all of my life. Being a parent greatly increased my patience, but lack of patience is still my biggest fault. Almost 60. I still have hope, tho.
This is an epiphany I needed. Patient truly is power 🙏
I have some difficult decisions to make , but now I will be more patient before making decisions.
This video came at the right time . Thank You 🙏
Thanks Einzelgänger! You always find the right words and I hope one day I will act more according to your videos and not just watch them. Changing yourself and your life is such a huge task that nobody has any idea how huge is task actually is!!!
It makes all the sense ....but should mention that too much patience could become apathy....and that is also not good 😊
I agree. Intuitively, I think we are intelligent in knowing the differences that come with being patient compared to dismissal and indifference.
There is a season to sow and a season to reap.
I am the age of 51,and i have been having this problem my whole life. I just could not find a way to deal with people and situations without losing my mind. This has helped me so much to put in the perspective that I am giving away my power and i look foolish by getting angry. PATIENCE IS POWER. I AM GOING TO TATTOO THAT ON MY NECK
Ni99a word?
@@SLIM_DICKINSON say what?
I agree 90% of times that you have to be
patient to be successful and achieve your
goals but there are always exceptions.
I wait "impatiently" for your videos every week!! (pun intended lol) I could say that this is my new favorite video, out of all the ones posted on this channel, great advices as always.
You have no idea how much you've helped me throughout the last few of years.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you from NC!! 🇺🇸
Patience is a must when you're a teacher. Not always easy to keep though. Sometimes students can drive you up the wall.
I can totally relate being a teacher myself 😁
A big round of applause for you both. 🎉 😊 👌 ✌!!!
“Patience is an instrument of self control for letting our emotions dissolve and not acting on them”
Thank you.
I needed to hear that.
Right now , someone is grateful for the impact you've had on them . Someone is staring at your soul - filled art in their homes and tearing up at the magic your hands created . Someone is reading your heartfelt words and feeling less alone in this world . Someone is laughing uncontrollably at the memories you share . Someone is remembering the kindness of a stranger and praying that you are healthy and whole . Someone is blessed to have known you , to have felt your love in its entirety even if it was for a brief moment in time . Someone is in awe of you and the imprint you leave on the world . Someone is inspired by your courage and strength and using it as a catalyst to dig into their own hearts , their own healing . Right now , someone out there is thankful that you exist 🙏🏻❤️
Beautiful words, thank you !!

I see that you enjoy leaving encouraging comments. Me too.
I did have a problem before EXPECTING acknowledgement. When no one responded my stupid ego was upset.
Now, thank God, I give without needing praise or thanks.
Always nice to read your kind words.
It does feel good to be encouraging doesn't it?
@@joannaedwards6325 yeah when your own life is shit, you expect to see some positive things thinking it will help to cope your shitty life but I learned a lesson from quote that one who plants the trees without knowing who is going to sit in shade has understood the meaning of life.
Patience is also a necessary prerequisite for healing. Those who receive medical treatment are called patients!
Powerful and timely! Thank you for helping me tolerate a very difficult neighbor. My level of annoyance/anger is subsiding thanks to you ❤
Am I really watching this premium content for free?
You have changed my life. And not only once
Okay so I am watching a video about patience and the first thing I automatically did was check how long is the intro to know if I want to skip it. I guess that tells me something :)
The life lessons that I've learned about the importance of being patient & observant has helped me be more peaceful and intentional in life. I'm more aware of it now & I've noticed that it has become less common because of information like this. Thanks for sharing !
Positive Vibes to everyone,
KJP
Being patient can turn one into a patient if they allow it. Use your power of will to not be perfect but accepting and still.
Note to self: the hard part is knowing whether things are actually out of our control, or whether we're just discouraging ourselves out of learned helplessness. Sometimes rushing may hurt, but sometimes it may also help us reach success, and it's not always easy to tell which applies to us. (Of course, when we are truly unable to change our circumstances, then there's nothing to do except wait.)
Also, I'm not sure if I agree that benefit #4 demonstrates the value of focusing on process over results. Sometimes going through the process really sucks, and the only reason we persevere through them is because we expect to be rewarded by results at the end. If anything, in those situations we should focus *more* on results (while acknowledging that they may only appear much later).
As usual, it is incredibly difficult to give general life advice because life is complicated
I'm looking for this kind of comment 🥺
This is a very nice comment. Thank you.
Maybe the hardest seasons of life teach you a different version of happiness . Maybe in those seasons , the things you live for , the things you value most , seem so small in comparison to what you were filling your soul with in the past , seem so quiet in contrast . Maybe it is within those moments that your eyes are opened , that you learn how to find joy , and peace , and safety in that which you didn't even notice before .
Maybe in the seasons of life where your heart aches , or loss has built a home within you , happiness changes . Maybe it becomes your morning cup of coffee sitting and drinking it as the sun rises and the world wakes up around you . Maybe happiness becomes the way the sky looks at your favorite time of night , the way the moon fills the air with an energy you can feel in your bones when you really sit with yourself and let your solitude wash over you . Maybe in the messiest moments of life , happiness is your mother's voice . Maybe it is the beauty you feel when you see your friends ' faces , when you hug them for twenty minutes straight , when you sit with them in silence and feel understood , and seen , and held , in all that you are .
Maybe in the most complicated moments happiness simplifies in a deeply profound way . Maybe it exists in the songs you listen to and the way your pen scratches across your journal in the morning . Maybe it exists in the quiet , in the moments where you fully connect with yourself and you love yourself and you are kind to yourself in all that is unvarnished and unanswered in your life .
Maybe the hardest seasons of your journey teach you that happiness is small . That it exists in the stillness , that it echoes through you in the most nameless moments . And maybe the hardest seasons of life teach you that those moments aren't small at all . That those fleeting experiences , that those simple encounters , have always been saving you , have always been the things that truly mattered .
Existence wants you to be You
beautiful words. Thank you
Thank you 💙

One of the best videos ive seen ever.
Waiting for the water to settle is a metaphor for waiting for the mind to settle.
I am working on being patient letting others finish talking first before I get my turn to speak. I need to do better on being patient to get what I want and desire.
