Patience

In the dictionary patience is the 'act or power of calmly or contentedly waiting for something due or hoped for'. In other words be still and wait, the best is yet to come. In our busy world, it is sometimes the hardest thing to do and we all want things yesterday, but when you are being asked to wait, it is usually because something better is on the way. It can also be that part of you is not ready for the thing you think you want and so you need to look inside to see what you truly desire. Use this waiting period to rest and recuperate.
