Learning curve

 

Perseverance and patience, two different life skills that are an important part of growing and learning. 

I am pretty good at perseverance, but patience is a whole different story.

I want things to happen now. I am willing to push and pull, tug and sometimes even threaten to get my way. That may sound like someone who is very determined and it is, but it is also someone who might not have really thought out the consequences.

A big part of success in life is seeing the consequences of your actions before they cause problems. I tend to act first then look back in dismay. Fortunately for me the love of my life is a very understanding and kind person. He knows who I am and what I need and is willing to give me the leeway to make these mistakes.

The world is not always so accommodating and so before I am close enough to him that my actions will reflect on both of us, I need to be able to foresee the results of my actions. I need to become more of a decider than a doer, which sounds simple, but really isn't.

In my world I am so often the person who really knows and really understands things, so my confidence level is pretty high. In my Love's world I only think I know and understand things. There are more differences than I ever dreamed of.

The obstacles in my path may be Fate's way of preparing me to open the gateway to my new life and I need to take advantage of every opportunity to learn.
