    Love + Ambition EP. 21: Appreciating The Art and Practice of Patience...

    Inspired by my good friend, Isaiah Rogers, in this episode of Love + Ambition: A Digital Diary, I talk about appreciating the art and practice of patience. When I initially recorded this episode on June 7, 2020, I spoke about viewing patience not as “wait time” but as an opportunity to improve ourselves in some capacity. In addition, I also spoke about patience as an opportunity to be productive while other events take their course that are outside of our control. Earlier today (Wednesday, February 17, 2021), after coming across a post by Joel Daniels (@iamjoelleon) on Instagram that stated, "good things take time...and great things take a lot longer than good things do," the following thought came to mind: Although being patient may cause for a “delay” in timing on our watch. Ultimately, under Universal watch, divine timing varies. Nonetheless, we do have influence over how we decide to allocate and spend our time in the present. Although we may have to practice patience, we can still continue to plan and prepare for what it is that we deem requires our patience until we reach the level of achievement we aspire to attain.

When we are productive, we optimize time. 7:06 - Patience provides us with an opportunity to be productive while other events take their course that are outside of our control.
