Season 3 Episode 13 - Patience in the Pursuit of Your Dreams

The Perspective Matters Podcast

"A patient man rides the donkey" is a Jamaican proverb used to extol the virtue of patience. After-all, if you know the obstinacy of a donkey anyone who can ride one and get to their destination; truly embodies patience. For this week's episode I use this proverb to remind us of the patience we need in the pursuit of our dreams. We live in a time when the microwave mentality is rather dominant and instant gratification is the order of the day.

With social media; we see many displays of success; which seemingly appear to have happened overnight. When the reality is these successes were decades in the making. In pursuing our dreams; we must remember to focus on our own journey. Do not allow comparison to steal your joy and peace of mind. When you see other people being successful use it as motivation to continue; for one day your glow up will happen! After nuhbaddi no more dan u!

Use July to commit to being disciplined; focused and intentional. Take an honest and hard look at your habits to determine what is preventing you from achieving your goals and dreams. Examine your mindset and your self talk. Are you really taking steps towards your goals or moving away from them? A period of quiet reflection will yield the answers you seek.

It is my hope that as you embrace the Summer and all it brings; you will be open to the idea that patience is needed in the pursuit of your dreams. You will commit to being the person who is willing to do what is necessary to see your goals realized! Happy dreaming and remember there are two sides to every coin just flip it to get the full view!
