Motivation to be Patient
In this growth path, we assume that you are motivated to be more patient. We also assume that patience is not only a virtue that you can build and will benefit you in terms of physical health, mental health, relationships, and spirituality but it is also (and perhaps most strongly influential) something that you can do for the benefit of others.
In the box below, answer the following questions:
- For yourself, would you estimate, at this moment, to what degree you believe you are motivated to develop a character strength of patience (0 = not at all to 10 = never more serious about anything in my life)?
- Regardless of how much motivation you feel you have to become more patient, please divide your subjective motivation into self-benefit, other-benefit, religious/spiritual. Suppose you allocate 100% of your motivation among the three. What percent would be attributed to each?
