Why Patience is Power | Priceless Benefits of Being Patient 

"Impatience is the unwillingness to live life at the pace that it actually happens." Wow, great quote!

The more patient I am, the faster I get the things I want. Things always take longer when I'm impatient.

I always tell people "do it the slow way, it's faster" then get confused expressions...

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 release that rising tension by taking a deep breath 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 opportunities I received 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." 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.

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.

"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

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.

Patience is bitter but it's results are sweet.

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.

Man, without your videos I probably would have died a long time ago. Thank you so much for these gems! ❤️

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.

“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.”

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.

"But the muddiest water clears as it is stilled, and out of that stillness life arises." Lao Tzu

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.

As a person groomed to be impatient, this resonates with me. Thank you. Your videos are always top notch.

12:59 "listen before we speak". This is why we have two ears and only one mouth.

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.

I wasn't surprised to learn that patience takes the longest to master.

Having patience is so important. And yet, difficult to achieve at times.

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

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

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._* 💕☮🌎🌌

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. ^__^

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.

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 ❤️👑

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!✌🎋

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.

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

Patience is a refined sense of confidence

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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 :)

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.

Patience is also a necessary prerequisite for healing. Those who receive medical treatment are called patients!

"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.

Patience without force is the way. I tend to think of my efforts as a process like cultivation.

God delivered this message to me today. I have been praying for more patience, and stumbled upon this video. Thank you!

Great video! "Patience means tolerance, wisdom, strength and equanimity. So, that's why patience is power."

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 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

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 🙏🏻❤️

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! 💗

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

A great icon of patience is Sikh religion's 5 th lord "Guru Arjun Dev" who was put on red hot irons alive with fire burning below and red hot sand pouring on his head by tyrant mughals of that time. yet Guru Arjun Dev had not utterred a word of pain out of his mouth and just kept reciting that O God your will is sweet to me whatever it is. Just imagine this situation of red hot irons and we will be screaming out of pain but Guru Arjun Dev had maintained his sweet silence even in this intolerant condition.

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

Patience is a must when you're a teacher. Not always easy to keep though. Sometimes students can drive you up the wall.

Man i neeeeeded this. I just realised that 99% of my suffering in my life is due to lack of patience... it's probably the cause for all my stress and bad feelings...

first comment with No patience

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.

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 agree 90% of times that you have to be patient to be successful and achieve your goals but there are always exceptions.

Said woman take it slow, and it will work itself out fine, all we need is just a little patience - William Bruce Rose

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.

There is a season to sow and a season to reap.

THIS CHANNEL SAVED MY LIFE!

Waiting for the water to settle is a metaphor for waiting for the mind to settle.

Am I really watching this premium content for free? You have changed my life. And not only once

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.

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.

It makes all the sense ....but should mention that too much patience could become apathy....and that is also not good 😊

“Patience is an instrument of self control for letting our emotions dissolve and not acting on them” Thank you. I needed to hear that.

You know, I’ve been postponing a solo trip to NY for ages because of fear, but you gave me such an inspiration!

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 😊

On the contrary, radical action is the only thing that makes anything happen

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.

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.

This is without a doubt one of the best channels in existence. Thank you!

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 👍🏼

I've used the bamboo story before. It's so powerful. He lost his family he was called crazy. But he never lost hope.

Patience is love, success and happiness❤

Patience according to Sun Tzu *_"If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by."_*

#5 - Being patient with people who aim to provoke is still a tricky one for me ~~>

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

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.

I literally just had an experience with a coworker that made me exercise my patience 😅.

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.

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.

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.

Needed this...Thanks again.

*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 😘🔥❤️

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 wanted to take a moment to remind you of the priceless benefits of being patient. In a world that values speed and instant gratification, patience may seem like a lost art, but it is actually a powerful tool that can help you achieve your goals and improve your life. When you practice patience, you develop resilience, self-control, and a growth mindset. You also become better at problem-solving and decision-making. So, the next time you feel frustrated or impatient, remember that patience is power and keep moving forward.

Stoicism and patience has saved my life. Thanks for this video

Today , patience is costing many people's job as they are trying to do the task and job with quality and perfection , without any haste, worry or aggresion but this cool minded and patient attitude is seen as lazyness by boss and colleague, they hence plan to remove him from the job , and if he do the job impatiently, very fast, it causes a hell lot of headache , body pain and low quality work 😔

everything in moderation, including patience. i don't have patience for harm and evil.

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 have two tortoises and the Spiritual messages I have received, learned and absorbed have been amazing. And I am still learning...

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.

Thank you for this, it has been so refreshing but also eye openning. Needed this, thank you SO much ♡

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!!!

Another great video .. your work and offerings are truly appreciated .. thank you . 🙏🏼

I patiently wait for these videos. Amazingly helpful!

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

Bamboo takes long because it’s growing it’s roots underground 1st. Then when it’s ready then it makes sense to shoot out. That’s why bamboo is the strongest because it bends with the wind because of its deep strong roots 💪🏽

Had i been more patient or calm I wouldn’t have lost the one woman I ever loved. Sure we have contact after the break up and see each other because we also have pets but….yeah that’s the lesson

This is an epiphany I needed. Patient truly is power 🙏
