Today’s society is filled with instant gratification. Everyone seems to want more in shorter periods of time, and many people now lack the patience necessary to deal with everyday life. As a result, people are becoming spoiled and lazy. They are stuck in the mindset of wanting things so fast that, when something takes time, they believe it is pointless to continue. Just because something takes time does not mean it is a worthless endeavor. It takes time to create, solve problems, and handle situations. Expecting instantaneous results will lead to nothing but disappointment, resentment, and anger. Having patience allows us to lower stress and anxiety, work towards achieving our goals, and ends the continuous cycle of wanting, waiting, and giving up.
Patience can reduce stress and anxiety, because it allows us to clear our minds. When people become impatient, they often get annoyed, angry, or concerned. They are self-sabotaging, making themselves stressed or anxious for no other reason but impatience. There is no need to create unnecessary stress, especially when a person has no control over the situation. Through patience, a person can expect different results. People are able to ease their mind when they remain patient and talk themselves through situations. A person should tell themselves that the item they want to receive, problem they want resolved, or situation they want to handled will happen, but it may take longer than anticipated. However, the person should also tell themselves it waiting is ok and events we have no control over should not be stressed about. If we cannot control a situation, there is no point in making ourselves feel stressed or anxious. Patience should be a reminder that not everything can be given to us instantaneously. This will allow people to better handle situations requiring patience to deal with properly.
Patience also pushes us towards achieving our goals. It does so by removing the mindset of instant gratification. It can take days, weeks, months, and even years to achieve certain goals, but many people fail to realize this. Often times, people will set out to achieve something, working for a short amount of time only to give up. This common occurrence is due to people’s obsession with instant gratification. Companies like Amazon, Apple, Uber, and fast food chains have contributed to this mindset, as they provide goods and services almost instantaneously. As a result, people expect their wants and needs to become reality as soon as possible, often complaining when this is not the case. People will not achieve their goals by thinking this way. Nobody should expect quick results, especially when it comes to long-term goals. It is important to maintain patience when working towards a goal, reminding oneself that nothing comes easy and everything takes time. Giving up and complaining will not produce change. That type of thinking will only create negative outlook on life. Through patience, a person is able to come to terms with reality, push through the barriers, and slowly but surely succeed at what they set out to do.
Patience will always be a skill people will benefit from. There are many situations in life requiring patience to get through unscathed. Without patience, there is more negativity, anger, and dissatisfaction. It takes time to get out of the mindset of instant gratification, but by taking small steps, anyone is able to change their habits, especially when it comes to making life more enjoyable. The world needs to change their outlook, have a little more patience, and stop giving up so easily. Enjoy the journey, expect slow growth and a lot of waiting, but accept it, and keep moving forward. Results will show when the time is right.
