be patient

There's really no point telling you to be patient. You can only be patient if you feel you are on the right road. The wrong road always makes you a little crazy. No matter how fast you travel, you're going nowhere until you abandon it. You cannot be patient when you think you are wasting your life. You know you should always be doing something else. You can't even enjoy a vacation when you haven't found yourself, for you can tell the difference between a vacation and the rest of your life. Nothing is happening in either place. When you know where you are going you can do nothing and still be patient. You can take time out to enjoy yourself because you know you are going in the right direction when you are ready. Adolescents are impatient all the time. They run from one party to the next, from one group of friends to another, always looking for excitement. Purpose is patience. You look for excitement when your life has no meaning of its own. If you can't relax, maybe you should start looking for the right goal, your goal, your destiny. Your impatience is telling you that time is running out and that you're wasting your life. Be patient about everything else, but be impatient about finding your life. Be patient. These are empty words to a life empty purpose. When you find your purpose, no one will need to tell you to be patient.
