Single, but I’m Struggling to be Patient for Love: How Can I Overcome My Impatience? Impatience can give you a “relationship” at any given moment but patience will lead you to the love of your life.–Swezi England I had no intentions of writing this blog. I usually don’t blog about topics upon request because whatever I write is not planned. My blogs/and or quotes are led by inspiration or by whatever that sporadically comes to mind. However, I will consider the topic at hand because of a friend’s request, and for the reason that being patient love is a frequent struggle for me. And I’m sure for many others as well. I stated an earlier blog, whether friendship or romantically, human beings are created to be in a relationship with one another, therefore we have an innate ability and desire to give and receive love. But given the nature of our being and being single at that, how do we practice patience given the intense desire to experience true love? I’m often asked the question “why am I single?” I always have two answers prepared (my responses are based upon how a read a person). One answer is that I haven’t found the right woman for me. This is a rational response because she will look at me and say, “okay, that make sense,” however, in the back of her mind, it doesn’t My response is that it’s not as easy as it looks and that’s where I leave the conversation at, which brings me to my second answer: it’s not the right time for me to love. The woman who is spiritual will understand exactly where I’m coming from. She understand that my singleness is not a matter of being alone or not being able to find someone, but my singleness is a matter of being set aside to meet the right one at the appropriate, perfect time. In part I of this blog, I’m going to attempt to answer the question how can I overcome impatience? To give you a heads up on the direction I’m heading in, you have to adjust your perception about being single and why you are single. I will use my experiences as a point of reference, so you can see how I addressed my issues of loneliness, and how I constantly have to fight loneliness off when it knocks at my door.
