Over on LinkedIn I posted this, and Andrew Clark said: "one person who comes to mind was what @davidperrell said of Kevin Kelly in his last How I Write retrospective. Kevin seemed wandering and unproductive but his interest and enthusiasm were channeled in ways that brought deep engagement…when the moment came. Also think of video seeing Messi waiting on the pitch to strike."
Giving other people the space to grow at their own pace is a kind of patience I'm just learning.
That might be the hardest version of patience...
“It means being wholeheartedly engaged in the process that's unfolding,”
So true. Applies to marriage, work, and life in general. Thanks for sharing, Tim.

"courageous dedication to the long haul"
A beautiful way to put patience.
For me patience is about pacing myself.
Be sustainable rather than swift.
Ah, there it is! Pacing! You know, the human being only walks at around 3mph? Seems we were created to slow down and to pace ourselves.
