4. Still on #AttitudeChallenge for July, and today we take a look at Patience, a focused strength. #TheSuitableHelp  

5. Our perception of patience has been that if we don't fast tract ourselves through our choices, we'll miss out on a desire. #TheSuitableHelp  

6. We want life to happen on our own time therefore, we take our time off God's hands and place it in our own hands. #TheSuitableHelp  

7. I love what David said in Ps 31:14-15, "But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; You are my God,...My times are in your hand." #TheSuitableHelp  

8. When we take our times in our hands and run with it, we miss out on the inner peace that comes with absolute trust. #TheSuitableHelp  

9. To the outside world, we may appear as go-getters in our chase but in actual fact we're missing out on our lives. #TheSuitableHelp  

10. We hadly slow down to savour the small achievements along the way, because we want all to happen at once. #TheSuitableHelp  

11. Through impatience we miss out on the little details of life that adds meaning and joy to living. #TheSuitableHelp  

12. When life takes us through small steps towards our goals, we get upset and sometimes even frustrated. #TheSuitableHelp  

13. With impatience comes the feeling of inadequacy which also makes us feel like losers. #TheSuitableHelp  

14. If only we could realise we don't have control over all the factors that determine our results. #TheSuitableHelp   1

15. If only we could realise that impatience is self inflicted punishment, criticism and disappointment. #TheSuitableHelp  

16. Then we'll learn to grow in the capacity to wait without compromising our peace. #TheSuitableHelp  

17. Its quite amazing how The One Who controls all things is never moved despite our self torture through impatience. #TheSuitableHelp  

18. He's ever patient with us, waiting for us to lean on His grace and Spirit to help us practice patience. #TheSuitableHelp  

19. Yes, PRACTICE patience. Patience is hard and therefore requires practice. #TheSuitableHelp  

20. Patience is that point when you can focus your strength inwardly and overcome your expectations. #TheSuitableHelp  

21. So you can enjoy peace as you gracefully endure the hard part of life. #TheSuitableHelp  

22. Here are some tips to help you practice more patience. #TheSuitableHelp  

23. 1. Appreciate the blessings of life. When you take some time to acknowledge life's blessings you'll desire patience. #TheSuitableHelp  

24. 2. Recognise the higher power. We get impatient when we assume we have it all worked out and leave God out of the equation. #TheSuitableHelp  

25. 3. Life, everything and everyone are on the fast lane, but you CAN deliberately slow down and live in the moment. #TheSuitableHelp  

26. 4. Overcome self rejection through acceptance. Accept yourself for who you are and love yourself. #TheSuitableHelp  

27. You aren't Mrs x, please don't compare your growth with hers. No basis for comparison. #TheSuitableHelp

32. When we become patient our whole being also adjust to the pace at which life unfolds for us. #TheSuitableHelp
