"I learned that patience was far more than simply waiting for something to happen—patience required actively working toward worthwhile goals and not getting discouraged when results didn’t appear instantly or without effort.
There is an important concept here: patience is not passive resignation, nor is it failing to act because of our fears. Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and doing all that we can—working, hoping, and exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed. Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!"
I really need to commit this quote to memory. It reminds me while I would like to hit 70lbs this week that I can still be patient in with my self and that does not mean passive resignation it means that I am actively working toward my goal, and not getting discouraged if I don't hit it this week. I know 67lbs worth that what I am doing is going to work so regardless of what the scale says this week I will continue to stay on program.
PS I beat the gummy worms yesterday!! Wahoo!
So very, very true. It sometimes just takes time!!
