23/06: Patience?

Patience? Yeah, right. So, once again I mention the past eight months as I dealt with severe nerve pain. I am still dealing with it, but on a much smaller level...a liveable level anyhow. Well, one of the things I gained during tha time was patience and then...BAM, I lost part of what I gained. Only recently have I been forced to learn it once more. I believe that it will stick this time around.
You know patience is a funny thing. None of us seem to have enough of it, but we all don't seem to be able to really do much about it...or so we think? I guess it is a step at a time...reminds me of that Christmas cartoon where they sing..." put one foot in front of the other...and soon you 'll be walking out the door..." and so on...and so on. There is so much truth to just taking things one step at a time....Cliche's like . . . We have to walk before we run, etc....they make you think? Am I making sense, or rambling? Sometimes I think that I ramble more than write...anyhow...I guess in the end what I'm trying to say is that we need to evaluate our lives, our passions/desires...what motivates us? When we slow down, things tend to show themselves for what they are...slowing down this man, well...that is a difficult thing to say the least, but it has happened in the last month or so.
When you have no choice but to wait, then you have to be creative and think of other ways to occupy your time and thoughts. It is actually easier than I thought..and I'm now moving this way of thinking towards my music and my career during the day. The nice benefit of this train of thought is that it starts bleeding into other areas of your existence without you even being cogniscent of it.
I'm not sure why I'm talking about patience tonight, I guess I'm trying to reassure myself that I am getting better in this are of my life...I like to categorize it as a "weakness," when I'm NOT patient. So, the more I work on it, the more it becomes a strength...then, and only then, can I move onto another weakness and start improving on it...right? Well, sounds good anyway...we'll see...
"All we need is patience..." I think that was Axle Rose? Hmmm....can't remember for sure, but I've always laughed at this line in the past, and now I believe there is a lot of power in this one line. I have some new friends who are always putting up quotes on FB and I've begun to understand the power of re-inforced thinking and phrases, etc...what is it called, umm...Positive Reinforcments? I think....anyway, a different topic, but patience begins with positive thinking.
O.K. so tonight, I have been rambling, but...well, I feel better. If anyone out there feels the same way I do and this helped them realize we share in the same struggles in life, then, well...I've accomplished something...hopefully.
G'bye for now...
much love,
raymond
