CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
For those who have attended my Q’s in the past, you know that I go one of two ways. Thoughtful, well-researched, and readout of my notebook WORDs, and those that come to me randomly. This morning I want to talk about patience. BACKGROUND: I spent several hours on the phone with two cell phone providers trying to figure out why my M’s phone was shut off and why another canceled my order for new SIM cards for her and my 2.0s. Patience was needed. Not just for the customer service reps, but also with my wife when I informed her that we had to change the phone number she’s had for half a decade.
While I was indeed frustrated and running out of patience, I knew that I needed to remain a calming presence while she dealt with this fact. I made sure to talk calmly and not put my own frustrations of the past 4 hours on the phone on her. It wouldn’t be fair to her and would not help the situation AT ALL. The lack of patience can infect your life, your family, your job, everything. Be mindful of how your attitude and frustrations affect those that mean the most in your life.
