It is the Sunday morning between Christmas and New Year. For me consciously a super quiet couple of days planned this way.
As 2019 comes to a close I have much to be thankful for and much to look forward to in 2020, yet still, I find myself struggling today to “do nothing” and, on a broader sense, to “be patient” and allow time for things to emerge and evolve in a few different ways in my work and life.
This impatience in myself amuses me and I sit smiling at myself as I write.
A coaching adage is “you can only see in others what you see in yourself”. Patient, still and quiet as I can be as a coach to my clients, part of why I can understand them when they are impatient in different ways is that it is part of my own makeup to sometimes be impatient for action and for results from myself and from others.
I guess being patient is, therefore a practice. Let me go now and practice some more.
