Testing Our Patience

Sometimes I believe that G-d puts us into a place where our weaknesses are tested. I think this happens purposefully to help us grow. However, it is still frustrating.

I tend to learn things quickly and do not ask for help unless I need it. I don't ask questions "just because I wonder." If is not relevant to me I don't ask about it. I know that not everyone learns this way and when you are in a training environment you are supposed to be respectful and tolerant of different learning style but I find that to be hard to do.

I totally understand if something doesn’t make sense to you, you need to ask a question to make sense of it. At the same time, if your need to know things is making learning unbearable for others you should do one of two things. Ask for special help from your coach or take your conversation off-line.

I have a reasonably short attention span and after I am done with something I tend to be ready to move on…right away, this makes me a less than ideal candidate for being in any type of training or classroom.

This will be added to my prayer list of things to work on…after all it is not the fault of the slower people that they are slow and I can’t expect them to have consideration of others in mind when trying to learn.

Please keep me in your thoughts in this regard…I need to learn patience and tolerance of others.

Thanks and have a blessed day!
