- People who are impatient usually have difficulty resisting the need for immediate gratification. Sometimes they seem to be impulsive. Studies have shown that meditation helps with this. The silent witness meditation technique is especially helpful in this instance.
- The most famous quote about patience equates it with love: “Love is patient” (See 1 Corinthians 13:4).
- If you don’t have patience, you may find it difficult to reach your goals. Usually challenges and obstacles arise after setting important goals. As we know, physicians recommend the regular practice of meditation to help develop patience, determination and be able to handle the stress that comes along with trying to rise above challenges and ultimately reach the goals a person has set for themselves.
- People with patience follow the motto, “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” People who lack patience tend to quit when things get difficult. Meditation techniques such as the silent witness, help a person to take a 3rd party view of what's taking place in their life, they take the position of observer and therefore are able to remain aloof and seperate from; the stress they may be experiencing. This obviously has tremendous benefits.
