“Patience is NOT a virtue. A virtue is taking control of what you can control in life and converting it into what you ultimately desire WITHOUT WAITING!” - Jared Yellin
Think back for a moment and try to envision the first person who misinformed you…
Patience is a virtue…
I guarantee that if you audited this individual's life they absolutely did not have what you desire.
They were not abundant…
They were not energized…
They were not fearless…
They were not innovative…
They were not changemakers…
The people who have shaped our society and the world are people who go out there and GET IT! They are unrelenting with their impatience around mediocrity and are absolutely monotonically committed to an outcome.
They knock down anything that stands between where they are and where they are going…
They never ask for permission…
They have the deepest belief in their ability and don’t rely on anyone or anything…
They are NOT patient!
They don’t wait…
They don’t delay…
They don’t wish…
They just get it - time and time again - and because of their commitment to action, they build a moat around themselves that is completely impenetrable.
Another thing…
They are unapologetically themselves.
They don't care about anything but they care for everything…
What I mean by this is that the people who truly move society forward are doing it for a greater purpose, BUT at the same time they don’t give a SH** about what anyone thinks regarding their higher purpose.
I am driving this point home because right here and right now is your moment to dismiss the absolute absurdity of this weak belief system surrounding a statement based on theory…
Patience is a virtue….
It is NOT, and it will NEVER BE, but what I can tell you is this…
If you want whatever you desire badly enough - don’t be patient - GET IT!
5 Reasons Why Being Patient Will Kill Your Dreams
Patience means less shots.
Do you know who will ALWAYS win?
The person who takes the most shots…
The person who tries the most times…
The person who experiments the fastest…
Being patient means that you are doing the exact opposite of what it takes to WIN!
Why did Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Albert Einstein, and every other legend of our time WIN?!?!
Because they kept on shooting, trying, and experimenting.
They NEVER waited for anyone or anything – they were committed to WINNING and did whatever was required to achieve that outcome.
AND the same holds true for you…
DON’T be patient to find love – go out on dates everyday!
DON’T be patient to become an entrepreneur – go out and launch a business a week!
DON’T be patient to get in great shape – go out and hit the gym 365 days a year!
Your success will be predicated on the number of attempts you make, because most of the attempts will fall short, but some won’t and the law of averages ALWAYS prevails.
Patience means you are not accumulating data.
Outside of increasing the odds of success the more shots you take there is another extraordinary benefit…
DATA!!!!
I am sure you have heard me say this before…
You WIN or you LEARN…
WINNING means you did it – congrats!
LEARNING means you will eventually win – congrats!
But the more shots you take, the more data you accumulate, and the more wisdom you gain AND the more strength you accumulate AND the more persistent you become.
And the contrary is also true…
If you choose patience over success, then you are choosing to have less data and the less data you have, the more likely you will fall short since you will need to guess your way to winning.
Remember what the late Steve Jobs said…
You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect the dots looking backwards.
Being IMPATIENT gives you more DOTS!
Patience means other people grab the opportunities that are meant for you.
TIMING is EVERYTHING!
You might have the greatest product in the world, but if you are operating out of a space of patience – NO ONE WILL KNOW and someone else will grab the market.
You might have the greatest personality in the world, but if you are operating out of a space of patience – NO ONE WILL KNOW and someone else will steal your lover.
You might have the greatest solution to a big problem in the world, but if you are operating out of a space of patience – NO ONE WILL KNOW and someone else will take your money.
I will bet anyone on the person who lacks patience, but executes versus the patient person who is perfecting their offer.
The NEEDS OF THE WORLD will NOT wait for you and the NEEDS OF THE WORLD don’t need the most optimal solution, but what they do need is A solution and the WIN will go to the person who is NOT PATIENT and is willing and committed to offering THE solution…NOW!
PLEASE don’t miss out on opportunities that stand before you because you have been brainwashed to believe…
Patience is a virtue…
Patience means you become complacent.
I would say that one of the most undesirable characteristics of a human is complacency.
Complacent people are weak…
Complacent people are boring…
Complacent people lack energy…
And what happens is the more you sit on your coach and try to manifest your ideal outcome and remain patient on the journey you are travelling, the more COMPLACENT in every domain of life you become.
The world REWARDS the active!
The world REWARDS the committed!
The world REWARDS the impatient!
Being patient creates undesirable habits and characteristics that eventually penetrate your soul and become part of who you are.
I consider complacency a disease which slowly steals your life and the cause of this disease is a statement backed by ZERO objective benefit…
Patience is a virtue….
Patience means you punt your ultimate desires.
Finally…
The side effect of being patient is you DO NOT get what you want.
Let’s pretend you only have ONE LIFE to live and that life will last 100 years.
WHY be patient to find love?
WHY be patient to become successful?
WHY be patient to become fit?
WHY be patient to live your dream?
EVERY MOMENT of EVERY DAY that you are patient – you are PUNTING your desire.
So make this decision now…
Would you rather be PATIENT or would you rather have the life you want?
Now What?
Forget about being patient.
I have NEVER met someone who had everything they desired and patiently waited for it.
But please don’t misinterpret patience AND persistant…
I am NOT patient when it comes to getting what I want, BUT I am patient in the sense that I won’t give up until I get what I want – the latter is PERSISTANT!
But for you…
Simply make a decision because what I have learned from PATIENT people is that they are uncomfortable stepping into unrelenting impatience.
They interpret this characterization as…
Rude…
Obnoxious…
Selfish…
Aggressive…
Egotistical…
And the more you associate these negative connotations with a VERY positive decision, the more you will NOT achieve positive outcomes.
The impatient people are just outpacing you right now…PERIOD and end of story.
They are getting more of what they want, faster, and are unrelenting with an energy that you refuse to tap into.
And the only reason you refuse to tap into it is because…
There is a voice that lingers in your brain - on repeat - saying…
Patience is a virtue…
Well guess what? Hear this loud and clear…
Impatience is a virtue because the impatient people in our world are the ones who are making the world a better, more abundant, and safer place to be.
STOP being patient – I promise it won’t hurt you and you will redefine what impatience means as you begin to transform your dreams into your living reality.
I am here for you – let’s do this!
Live with Intention,
