Anticipation often makes patience an almost impossible character trait. Like the new car I am getting delivered, and which already arrived in my home town. I can hardly wait to receive it, but on the other hand I don't wish to try and have the original delivery date moved to a more early moment in time.
But over time I've noticed how things tend to automatically fall into place, as the larger patterns of life unfold. So patience becomes easier, and results become less of a tension to be relaxed, but natural occurences in a life that appreciates all...
