Do not open the door for “Panic”

Today as I began to retrieve my post from disk the password was not excepted so I checked the for accuracy and I was correct. So after several attempts my disks delivers a message “For your security all of your data has been erased”. This is where I keep both books I am working on and a lot of backup information. So after a quick prayer I remembered my other place for data. Even though panic knocked on the door I did not let it in.

The patient mind is a crown jewel to be watched and protected. It is that valuable place that should be guarded with the vigilance reserved for heads of state and a nation’s top secrets combined. The patient mind smooths rough patches and eliminates confusion by deflecting distractions. Daily training is necessary to maintain this place that will be besieged with common and uncommon diversions. The patient mind anticipates distractions and prepares itself for impact then sees the corresponding reaction.

Another persons crisis is not your “to do list”. Included in this statement are those closest to you. Life happens at the speed of sound while the patient mind operates like a person in zero gravity. See every surprise as a present to investigate even before a thank you is offered. Focus completely on achievable goals and allow issues out of your control to trickle off of your back. There are plenty of times that diversion interrupts assignments but it shall not destroy your peace. One method that helps calm the mind and usher in the spirit of patience is to repeat the statement, “God is perfect”. His perfection comes in ways unimaginable, so practice a patient mind with all of them.

Another person crisis is not your do to list. How do you keep panic at bay?

Upgrade yourself

Daily we must tend to the affairs of our lives and it is imperative to choose the path that upgrades our status. If we constantly upgrade we receive affirmations as patience builds. The character of patience requires a series of upgrades to achieve success. The methodical process of reviewing options must be free of emotion. We should not become mechanical but, to employ mechanisms that root out decisions that down grade our life is vital. Decisions are best made with future considerations in mind. Only think on the past for points of reference not points of definition. Our future choices determine our destiny. Right decisions are not always easy choices. Have no fear with any move that shall propel you forward. The tough part is committing to meaningful change. Consider others then consider the mission. Your mission is to serve others by being true to yourself. It takes a lot of courage to lead yourself out to your promised land but courage has a partner in a series of upgraded decisions. Always forward ever upward.

Planning is weaving a pattern

While waiting patiently, you are putting together or twisting or weaving a pattern

Part of this statement comes from the definition of patience and the rest is derived from thoughtful human observance. Waiting indicates that all action necessary to finish is accomplished. Conversely, patiently waiting means that you are working on a plan and actively seeking an opportunity to continue on your path to success. All people are waiting for something good to happen, but genuinely successful people and organizations diagram a plan and seek an occasion to execute their visions.

The current mindset in our society is to get your project done right now. If we are hungry, we want fast food now. If we want to talk to some one, we pick up the phone now. If there is a crisis, we want it fixed now. All of this sounds good, and has a lot to do with the rapid advancement of the human race. Whether we realize it or not, patience and planning are fundamental to creating lasting results (even with extraordinary talent). When we are ready to dominate areas of our lives and wish for a peaceful ascension, the good book gives us a different way to plan our success.

Leave a note on how you are weaving a pattern and why.
