    The Splinter of Life - Part 2... DO THE WORK #568

    enMay 29, 2018
    What lesson does the speaker learn about patience?
    Why is instant gratification a challenge for many?
    What signifies maturity according to the text?
    How should we view our efforts towards goals?
    What can we do when results take time?

    Podcast Summary

    • Sometimes, we need to wait and trust the processPatience and trust are crucial when progress seems slow or impossible. Wait and trust that things will work out in their own time.

      Sometimes, no matter how hard we try or how much we want something, we cannot force it to happen immediately. Just like the speaker's experience with the splinter, we may need to adopt a patient and passive approach, giving things the time they need to unfold naturally. This can be a difficult lesson to accept, especially when we're used to instant gratification and constant progress. But as the speaker points out, the best things in life often require us to push past resistance and endure discomfort. However, there comes a point where our efforts may no longer be effective, and we must trust that the process will continue even if we can't control the timeline. So, whether it's a stubborn splinter or a long-term goal, remember that sometimes, all we can do is wait and trust that things will work out in their own time.

    • Trust the process and be patientTrusting the process and being patient leads to eventual success despite initial frustration and desire for instant gratification.

      Patience is key when working towards achieving goals. It's natural to want instant gratification and to feel frustrated when results don't come right away. However, it's important to trust the process and have faith that your efforts will eventually pay off. Sometimes, all you can do is take action and then let things unfold on their own. It can be difficult to sit back and wait, especially for those who are used to being in control, but it's a sign of maturity and wisdom. Trust that you've done everything you can do now, and let the natural progression of events take its course. It may take longer than you'd like, but the end result will be worth it.

    What Did You Do About It?

    Next time you want to blame someone else for being ____ ask yourself - what did I do about it?  We are quick to blame others when we could have done more or done things differently.  It's often partially our own fault, more than we would like to admit. Admit it and be better.
