Patience is not sitting around and doing nothing. It is not putting your life on hold and waiting for manna to fall from heaven or for someone else to make something happen. That’s laziness.
Patience is passionately pursuing your purpose and pouring your life into something that you believe is worthwhile even though you don’t see any immediate results.
Patience is working day in and day out on a goal because you have a long-term vision and know that in due season, you will reap a huge harvest if you don’t despair and give up.
Patience and perseverance go hand in glove. Patience is strength like steel.
