Today I noticed...Wise words seem to come to us just when we need them most.

I tend to gather what I call wise words. Sometimes this might be a pithy little statement. Sometimes it is a meaningful or inspirational quote. Sometimes it is just an observation that rings so true.

Since I have been tackling some projects that I've procrastinated about getting into, I am struggling at times, lately. Often, my project doesn't seem to turn out precisely like I have envisioned. Sometimes I call it a fail and move on to something different. Sometimes I give it another try. Sometimes I add a simple update or revision. Of course all of this takes time. 

I don't consider myself a patient person at all. Oh, as a teacher, I was often told that I am so patient but that was a different mindset for a different situation. At the least, I'm rarely patient with myself. So, when  I was in the midst of a project, the wise words framed above happened to pop up in front of me online somehow. 

The statement is one I often would tell teachers when I worked with them. Yet, somehow it is one that is more difficult to apply to self. I hope you are patient with others and especially patient with yourself. All things tend to work out better when one is focusing on progress and not perfection I have noticed.
