Patience is a hard attribute to acquire. For today's challenge my "someone" is more of a "something." I had to exercise a lot of patience with my day. It was one of those "Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Days." Okay, it wasn't that awful, but I didn't get all my homework done, I lost a button on my coat, my computer was giving me a hard time, I missed the bus and had to walk home, etc.
Normally, I am a very happy and cheerful person. However, I tend to get frustrated and moody when things don't go the way I want them to. So today, I had to be patient with the events that were occurring, and I had to be patient with myself. I had to remember that they were out of my control and getting frustrated at the situation or at myself would not help.
I am happy to say that I was very successful and managed a positive attitude despite a succession of mildly trying circumstances. I know that I am capable of remaining positive when I least want to be. I have always written my frustration off as my biggest weakness. I sometimes tell myself I can't help it or control it. It's just part of who I am. Day 1 of the Love challenge has taught me more about myself and the person I want to become.
