Stoicism

What’s the trait you value most about yourself?

The trait I value most in myself is patience. This trait is not innate to me; I had to go through struggles to attain it, and maybe that’s why I value it most.

From a young age, I was usually very impatient, which also made me a little aggressive. For example, when I set my goals and had to perform the appropriate tasks, and I failed and didn’t have the desired result, I gave up quickly.

Then, there was a turning point in my life. I don’t remember what happened, but I completely changed my attitude towards life. Maybe it was when I became more spiritual, and my intuition raised more. However, I had my dreams about my future; I set goals, but this time, I worked diligently with patience, and even though I had setbacks, I continued trying to reach my dreams and goals. So, my patience grew over time and over the years, and I’ve become mature and peaceful because I realized that behind every hardship is a lesson we must be taught in life.

    This is one trait I find challenging: patience. I struggle with it, even during my prayer and quiet time with God. I often catch myself venting, reminding Him of my previous prayers. It’s as if I’m looking for reassurance that my concerns are heard, but I know I need to trust His timing more. I’m working on being more at peace and open during those moments, rather than rushing the process.

      I had the same behaviour. Strangely, it was Astrology that helped me understand God better.😊🙏

        WoW. That’s wonderful. Praise God for grabbing a hold of us in ways we never thought possible and at the Perfect Time.
