Being Patient with Yourself

You are doing your best.

Yes, you are.

Sometimes we say or do something and immediately after we realize, or believe, we could have said or done something better.

Well, that may, or may not, be true.

We did our best, you did your best, in a given moment.

Ideally, we always want to improve. Don’t negate or discount your efforts by what you didn’t say or didn’t do.

Respect and value each moment for what it is. Respect and value each person in that moment. Respect your efforts in a given moment.

Strive to be better. Respect your past effort. Be patient with your growth.

We demonstrate patience more freely and with more ease than we do ourselves.

Sometimes its helpful to embrace how others see us. We, more often than not, can tell when others are giving their best honest effort. The same for you and me. People can tell when our heart intends to be its best.

Be patient with yourself.

You are doing the best you can.

When you know better, do best.

Amen
