Patience in Adversity

It is a skill I am still learning and realising, as though challenges are hard, they do provide opportunities for learning, healing and growth. 
When the panic hits or the unjust heightens and your emotions begin to feel unsteady, it takes a lot of control to not press the panic button and revel in the unknown.

There are times when I think I've learned this skill, and I am improving. I think that is accurate. However, life has many ups and downs, so all the lessons aren't the same.
Yet I am still here trying to increase my skills for patience in adversity. I find that, though at the moment, it seems right, when I reflect, I acknowledge it's not always productive to act with haste.

Trusting a process, especially when it's not in your control, is an obstacle for all humans as it's an uncomfortable feeling and, admittedly, the feeling spikes our anxiety.
Sometimes we can't predict the outcome or know it will be okay or how long you need to continue in the fight. And I want you to know I saw you and know the weight of it is not held lightly.

I don't have a lot of resolve in this. However, I feel my experiences continue to expand my capacity to strengthen my ability to not react and trust in my patience.
And being able to reflect on the past lessons that have helped me increase self-growth and development. And allowing myself to lean into that gives me peace that, despite the adversity, my experiences are not wasted.
