Patience

Patience is not my strong suit! I can easily get perturbed by waits in long lines, traffic jams, and other little inconveniences of life. Cultivating patience is probably the primary reason that I do yoga. I still get tweaked and annoyed by seemingly minor things, but each time I practice, I work on releasing that negative energy and I try to find a sense of peace and acceptance of what is.
Just for today, I will try to be patient. As the ancient poet Rumi stated, "Patience is the key to joy".
