Hello, everyone and good morning, Kim. Good morning, Jill. Good morning, everyone.
Today's message was coming through loud and clear before I even called in. It has a lot to do with patience today. It's kind of like I'm getting pulled to just buckle up and sit in the car. Don't sit anything. It's just going to take patience going from A to B today. It's going to take patience in your job. Things just feel slower today.
I can see a lot of you in your head going, like, "I gotta get this done, I gotta get this done." Like, "I gotta be here." And I'm like, "Oh my gosh, let's just go." There's a person in front of me, visual of me driving, and I want to honk my horn at the person in front of me like, "Let's go!" You're like, "Sit back and enjoy the moment."
It's a great time to challenge yourself to have great conversations in your head in these moments. Just start talking to yourself in your head. Have a beautiful dialogue going on. Sorry, dialogue. Literally ask yourself, "How are you today?" And then wait for your response. If you don't hear it, create a response. "Great, thanks for asking! How are you?" Imagine you're talking to yourself in your head today when you have those moments where you are in a patient situation.
It's okay to just sit back and let go of all the thoughts in your head and just have a conversation. Playful patience. I had an interaction a few weeks ago with a four-year-old, and I just said to him, "You'll have to be patient." Then we described what being patient meant. He said, "I don't like being patient."
So the point of sharing that is if you're not a fan of patience, you're not the only one. But be playful with it because it's a beautiful virtue, that's for sure. It was so cute when he said, "I don't like patience." Well, he had to wait for the cat to come to him; that's it. He wanted to pet her; he wanted to play with her. She was still trying to pick up his scents and make sure she knew him.
Yep, and he did not realize at four that being patient—that patience—would pay off for him. He thought if he stormed her he'd get what he wanted and he wouldn't, you know? And that's the beauty about patience. It's not always so much fun but it's exceedingly powerful and often gets us what we want.
Oh wow. Lovely, lovely! Right? Thank you, everyone! Thank you, Jill! Thank you, Kim! And until next time.
