Patience Is Virtue

Although I can’t really remember my mother saying, “Son, patience is a virtue!”, I do for some reason have that saying stuck in my head from my childhood. As if just saying that to a child helps them to understand the importance of patience… I suppose that saying this over and over to children helps to build value around the concept thus aiding in development of their moral system.

I learned so much from my parents as I grew older about being patient, humble, and honest. And even when our relationship was strained (another story for another time), I still credit them for raising me to develop the awareness needed to be more patient with everyone and everything in my life.
