PATIENCE

I don’t know about you, but lack of patience seems to be one of my greatest adversaries. It can ambush me anyplace. Even in the best of moods, if someone or something comes along that makes me wait, I get a little crazy.
 

There is at least a two pronged attack here on my ego.
 

One is if I look at my impatience closely I will realize that I was thinking (perhaps unconsciously) that the world spins around me, and everyone should damn well realize it.
 

The second is that, again without realizing it, I have planned and predicted my day; unconsciously everything is in my mind the way I think it ought to be, and God help you if you mess it up.
 

Scripture reminds us, “In the fullness of time, God sent His Son.”

In the light of clear thinking that means, the world doesn’t spin around me and the movement of the universe is much larger than my mind can comprehend.

The literature of recovery asks us if we are willing to “accept life on life’s terms.”
