Guess P arrived at a perfect time since I have recently been a bit stressed at work which made me lose focus her and other places in life but now I am back. I have decide that P stands for patient since to me it is a very strong word since it is both important for yourself and for others.
Patient for myself
Being patient for myself means that I do not need to rush things, I like to go though things in a flow instead of going crazy because I am late. I rather just take things as they come instead of focusing on how they should be, I know my past weeks shows that it is not always possible for me not to become overwhelmed but I try hard to do that. That also means I am often very calm around people as I do not see the point of yelling just because the other person is yelling. Sometimes I break down, I give you that but I hate fights and I feel if you cannot say things calmly then I do not see the point of listening. I can get angry as well but I really hate it since I feel I loss control over myself. That is all part of me being patient for myself.
Patient for others
By being patient for others is a bit like being patient for yourself. I find it a bit hard to explain what I mean about it but I feel these days we are more focused on our self than focusing on what other people has as needs. Guess an example could be that I want to have a seat in the train so I stand in front of the door to the train that people inside the train cannot get out from there and once the door is free I run to the seating place I want without thinking that maybe the old man with a cane maybe needs it more than me. I know people says that the past was better and other people says it is only better because you were younger and not so focused on the things around you and such. Well I am almost certain I can prove it since back in my childhood I remember one time I wanted to buy some cheese and biscuits for my mom in a shop, I only had enough money for the cheap biscuits if I wanted the right cheese. The owner knew me from when going shopping with my mom and decide to give me my favorite biscuits for the cheap price. These days I am sure that would not happen since people are so focus on themselves that they forget to be patient with other people. I am not saying it is like this all over the world but it surely is in Denmark.
