Recently a few events in my life have happened and it's really frustrated and made me think as well.
Before this, life has been going pretty well, too well in fact! I have been told that successful people have to go through ups and downs in life, which is what makes them tougher and their ability to learn from these events that make them great. I guess these few minor downturns have been a good thing because otherwise I probably did not learn much of everything.
One of the things that I have really learned from these "minor downturns" is the importance of patience, sometimes it is very important to wait before you do something rather than jump straight into it. And timing is also very important in certain situations. Just be very sure that you are actually waiting for the right time and not just making excuses for yourself not to take action.
Recently I have been frustrated by a few people around me, these have come from many things such as certain comments or remarks made to me, actions by people, non-actions by people and so on. But when I sit down and think about it, everyone is different and people including myself are not perfect. I think again it is important to be a bit patient with people and not expect everyone to think on the same level as oneself.
I honestly think this is a sign from up there, telling me that there are certain things that I have to change and work on in order to get to where I want to be in life. Its really like God has made all these things happen to me so that I can have a semi-epiphany right now after all the whining and bitching that I have been doing.
What I really need to do now is really let these lessons sink into my head, so that I will not make the same mistakes in the future. I know this is a bit vague however, some of these situations involve other people and I think its not fair to disclose certain personal issues and details of people other than myself. I do hope you get what I am coming from though.
