PATIENCE and FOCUS
In "The Rule of Four" written by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason, they posed an interesting thought: to count a hundred million stars, at a rate of 1 star/second, seems to be an impossible task to complete in a lifetime. However, in perspective, it would only take slightly more than 3 years - if you've the PATIENCE and provided you've the FOCUS.
It's a strong message. How many of us could have such PATIENCE and FOCUS in our lives? In these times, we were either over multi-tasking and losing patience at the same time at how moronic our silly circumstances are. The OVERCOMERS, in reality, are PATIENT with sufferings and are very FOCUSED on what they wish to attain at the end of the road.
I ran this thought through my wife but she didn't get the message - she was too encumbered by her "to-do" lists while I was too sick to explain in greater detail.
I need to learn these two virtues. I'm wearing myself out with my growing impatience (on the roads, in office, at home, at church) and losing my focus amid my "more than 100 things to do per day" life - a siege mentality that I subconsciously adopt.
