What if patience helped us find meaning in our lives?
1. When the result has value, you can often associate it with :
- Uncertainty: you don't know if it will work.
- Complexity: there is not one way to get there, but different options. You don't know which one will work best until you experiment.
- Passion: succeeding thrills you. You are drawn to the idea like a magnet.
- Transformation: you may not realize it at the time, but the experience transforms you as a person.
2. It's very personal, everyone will find their own project, but I could try to give you some examples:
- An athlete training for a career.
- Creating a business.
- A product manager before launching his latest creation.
- A writer working on his next book...
3. There is one quality common to all these pursuits, as diverse as they are: patience.
What I've come to love about patience is that, ultimately, it's the truest test of merit: Are you willing to do the work, despite no guaranteed outcome?- Dorie Clark
