During a discussion, concerning SELF DISCOVERY, a deeply treasured friend offered this astute definition of patience to me, which I'd like to pass forward to you:
A patient mind is one that has learned to tolerate ambiguity.
My interpretation of that statement: When a conflict remains unresolved, a patient mind need not know which attitude (agree or disagree) resides within the mind of another to determine its own.
Since my attitudes are consciously rooted in positivity, the focus of my stance remains self empowered for this reason: Shifting winds, which had once ruffled my feathers, no longer change the direction of my course of action. You see, just like Jonathan Livingston Seagull, who had need to assert a self confident stance, thus empowering his independent spirit to decide when to fly with the flock and when to fly solo, I , too, had need to free my mind of inner conflict whenever my needs had reason to clash with the needs of those I love.
Each time I think to tune into my intuitive sense of emotional intelligence, my conscious mind is more likely to absorb insight into deeper truth. For instance, let's consider a train if thought that intuition is directing my conscious mind to contemplate, right now: If love in its purest form is the greatest equalizer known to mankind and if my spirit's need to thrive depends upon concentrating my conscious awareness on expanding the narrow boundaries of my comfort zone (which had mistakenly been set by a subconscious attitude based in fear, which made me feel as though subservience and safety were indivisible) then it makes sense to surmise that my heartfelt desire to offer and receive love, naturally, freely and deeply has need to resist being suppressed by a defensive state of mind so that each time my heart chooses to embrace another, I can sense the depth of my sincerity with a growing degree of self empowered clarity, and thus do I work to simplify emotional complexity, consistently.
