The answer most persons would give to the question above will likely be a resounding YES. But in reality giving that answer backed up with the appropriate action that befits waiting is a much more difficult task. Life as we know it progresses in phases with each phase having its own unique perculiarities. As we grow older we learn that the process of transitioning from one phase to another can sometimes be difficult or challenging.
A college graduate who just simply cannot secure a job despite writing several applications and attending interviews may be tempted to seek the easy way out by turning to a life of illegality which is quite attractive these days due to the glorification of wealth and pressure from friends who have "made it" via that means. The mounting living expenses and bills are also there to think about. Does he bow to the pressure or will he stay the course and hope that his big break is around the corner if he persists in doing the right thing?
A young couple after years of marriage just can't seem to have children with pressure mounting from relatives . Battery of medical tests have been run and both couple are cerified to be ok. Will either partner decide to stray from the coop or will they opt for separation or worse still remain together but with love gone sour. Or could they continue to love each other unconditionally hoping that maybe just one day fate will smile on them with the blessing of a new born.
It is indeed easy saying one has patience but ask yourself if faced with either of these situations can you truly be patient and act in a manner that is appropriate for one who has decided to wait. Life is not a bed of roses, our conviction when the going gets tough and rough determines how we emerge from the waiting period which can sometimes indeed be long. But remember the saying that good things come to those who wait.
