Patience is the training in abiding with the restlessness of our energy and letting things evolve at their own speed.
Pema ChodronTrying to run away is never the answer to being a fully human. Running away from the immediacy of our experience is like preferring death to life.
Pema ChodronWhatever happens in your life, joyful or painful, do not be swept away by reactivity. Be patient with yourself and don't lose your sense of perspective.
Pema ChodronThere's nothing more important on our spiritual path than developing gentleness to oneself.
