As
I explained in my blog titled “While
My Computer Was at the Spa,” I had to take my computer in to get some
viruses removed from the hard drive and update some other software. Unable to
write my daily blog or even watch a class in the hypnotherapy course I am
taking, I had plenty of time to think how I could best use all that “free”
(ahem) time. It was still frustrating to not be able to use my computer at all,
but I have no doubt that my hypnotherapy training helped me stay calm and even
relaxed about the inconvenience.
Having said
that, I was not surprised to notice that the first post I saw on my Facebook feed when I was finally able to log
on was the following quote: “Patience is the key to paradise,” a Turkish
proverb. Hmm… Was the universe trying to tell me something? Probably.
It was like a
light bulb turned on in my mind. As I scrolled through my account, I found more
related and inspiring quotes. The following philosophies helped to give me a
new perspective on my situation. I hope you find them helpful, as well.
- “Adopt the pace of nature. Her secret is patience.” – Unknown
- “Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place.” – Rumi
- “When you forgive, you don’t change the past. You change the future!” – healinglightonline.com
- “Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus, but you don’t have to sit on it.” – 95.1 Shine FM
- “F-E-A-R has two meanings: ‘Forget everything and run’ or ‘Face everything and rise.’ The choice is yours.” – Zig Ziglar
- “In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
- “Keep calm and Hakuna Matada!” – The Glitter Fairy
