Patience seems to be a lost art. Over the last few months it is something that I have been short on myself and need to work on.

Patience is a fine art and something that has to be worked at on a regular basis. To many people think that it just comes naturally, but I am here to tell you that you have to persevere.

I hope that you find some inspiration in the quotes below. If you like, please take the time to click the pictures as they will open another window of knowledge.

Danny, Boy, did I need this.  I am having a time with patience lately.  So much so I am going to the doctor for stress tests and stuff.  It is funny though, I have the patience of Jobe when it comes to my buyers shopping and making decisions, negotiating etc.  However, once those decisions are made I want everything to be done in a timely fashion and on time.  That is what freaks me out.

Thanks Danny for the quotes. Sometimes borrowers need a little patience to get approved before they sign a contract. Sometimes I need patience with a lender. Patience to let go things I cannot control.

Patience and a deep breath.

I do tend to remember often the Russian Proverb you cite above. Perseverance and patience are a potent pair (how's that for alliteration)! <<<smile>>>
