212) Patience

Lagoon Valley Park, Vacaville, California

Things don't go according to your plan. Expect for things to not go your way. Welcome to life.

Frustration has taken over your mind. You hear critics. You compare yourself from others. No one believes in you. You give up. You're fed up. You want out. It's difficult.

You pray. You wish. You buy the lotto. You're waiting for your dreams to come to you with the snap of a finger. Good luck. 

You don't like asking help from others. You do want to learn. You would prefer any opportunity, advice, or story from them other than money.

Money doesn't solve everything.

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day," writes in the Bible found in a passage from Matthew 4:19. "Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

Money givers might expect something in return from you. Be mindful about it. You don't want to be owned. You didn't ask for the money. It was offered to you.

You believe that giving comes from the heart. Don't be a crutch from a money giver. You can't control or change anyone. Understand others and make adjustments. Your worst enemy is yourself.

You have to suffer in order to grow. We live in an imperfect world. 

You've achieved a goal. You think that a completed goal has fixed you. The end isn't near yet. You have another goal to achieve. Your story continues. Death is your finish line.

Prioritize your mental health. Have yourself a plan. Stop dreaming. Make it happen. Take action. Stay the course. Be resilient and persistent. Trust the process.

​It takes practice and patience. You'll get there.

Where there's bad, there's good.

​You're alive. You're breathing.
