Patience is a virtue ~

As a mentor and ambassador, there will be many times where you will feel as though your patience is being tested. That is the best time to remember that patience is a virtue! The first step is to always try and recognize a time or situation you know your patience will be tested. If you know a challenge is coming, you can be more mindful about increasing your efforts to stay calm. A good way to manage the pressure you feel from the clock ticking is to reframe how you perceive time. There are two things that you can do:

• Redefine the meaning of speed. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast! Moving fast does not mean being strategic at all.
• Thank your way to patience. Gratitude can help you remember that, in a time of impatience, there are things to be grateful for.
