Patience with others

In the way many people ask others to be patient with them, it sounds as there is a right to be wrong, slow and inefficient. And that is not the case.

The classical example of patience is of a farmer, who sows seeds that will bear fruit many years later. The only way for him to be happy and content is to be patient. Patience is the certainty behind his actions and their fruit, which shall come at their own time.

But patience is not alone: the farmer must water the seeds, prevent plagues, check the land, etc. Until the fruit come, this man or woman will have lots to do!

The same happens to people. When you give information, that is a seed, and it will take some time to bear fruit. If you have given the right seeds, at the right time, no worries: they will learn.

Meanwhile, keep on sustaining these people. Keep them happy and keep them learn. Sometimes push, sometimes flow. They will change, they will learn.

So, you have to take in account the time for the fruit to bear. You have to take in account that people do need some time to assimilate new ideas, or reframed old ideas. Give them that time, and sustain them during this assimilation process. That is patience, a wonderful way to relate to others you need to teach or share something.
