Patience & Happiness

Posted by Sana Ahmed on Jun 2, 2010 in Goals, Tutorials | 0 comments

Patience is one skill towards happiness. As I speak to my mentors, all of them tell me one thing,  “Be patient.”  I admit they are right!

As I plan my goals and coordinate my time, I’ve learned patience is a necessity towards my happiness.  I cannot succeed without patience.  If I remain hung up on things I haven’t accomplished and things waiting to happen, I simply won’t move ahead.  Patience is my key to living a fulfilled present and better tomorrow.

Needless to say, as I’ve invited patience into my skill sets, whining and complaining have move out!

Be Realistic with Your Skill Sets

There are so many things I want to learn!  There are so many things I think I know! I have a spirit of a life long learner who wants to constantly learn and do new things.  However, I need to take 2 steps back, breathe, and ask myself a few questions:

1. What is the topic I’m trying to learn?
2. What I do I really know about the topic?
3. What do I think I know about the topic?
4. What do I want to learn about the topic?
5. Time: How much time can I invest in learning about the topic?
6. Research: When will I gather information about the topic?
7. Action: When will I make time to actually learn this new topic?
