Hello! I’m so happy you dropped by. Today’s blog will touch on the subject of patience. Because this is a blog comes to you from a diagnostic medical ultrasound company, you might think I made a typo. Did I mean to say patients? No, I indeed want to discuss patience.
ABUNDANCE OR SHORT SUPPLY?
If you are a soul who possesses an abundance of patience, my sincere congratulations! I aspire to be more like you. Then there are the rest of us who sometimes suffer with short supply. They say patience is a virtue. I can only hope one day I will be a tad more virtuous.
HICCUP?
We are not born with it. It is something we learn and must be practiced on a daily basis. It is like any other discipline. Patience takes practice and practice makes perfect…better. Life will occasionally throw us a hiccup. Patience is one of the ways we can learn how to handle these hiccups. I will attempt to synopsize an article I read in entrepreneur.com which discusses a few ways to help with the elusive quality.
- When it comes to decision making, patience is key. When we practice patience, we are able to be in the moment and with that comes the ability to make smarter choices that encompass both the big and small picture.
- It is the successful people who set themselves apart from the rest by mastering the skill set which leads to success. Be patient with your progress, no matter how fast or slow it goes.
- Patience puts us in control of ourselves which gives us time to choose how we will respond to a situation rather than getting emotionally hijacked by our emotions. A lack of success or progress is almost always attributed to a lack of patience.
- Patience increases our threshold of tolerance giving us the foresight to deal with obstacles and the means to deal with them diplomatically. The sooner we learn to deal with the quirks of other people the less stress we experience.
- Patience helps develop excellence but is definitely not easy to come by. It takes time and a conscious effort to master but impatience can lead to our demise.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
-Thomas Edison
PATIENCE/PATIENTS
Life requires us to be patient. This is also something we in the medical field need to remember as well. We need to be patient with patients and patients need to be patient with us. Suffice it to say, stuff happens. Occasionally we run late with our schedule or have a hiccup due to circumstances beyond our control. Trust each and every patient is priority and we strive to give plenty of time and excellent patient care to each and every soul who comes through our door. HDD is grateful for our patients.
