My 3 virtues
Have you ever got “accidentally” hit by someone? Did you feel like beating them up at that moment?
Did you or did you forgive them? The right decision would’ve have been to forgive them because
while you may be mad, you have to be the bigger person. I have a problem with forgiveness.
It takes me a while before I can finally accept that what they said or did was not something that
I should hold a grudge for. It is not healthy for me to hold on to a problem for such a long time. In order to
fix this, I have will try to make it a habit, to take into consideration the problem and forgive the person,
so that I don’t keep so many grudges in my life and learn to move on. This is something that as a child
I have been taught but never fully grasped.

During my childhood, my mother has also told me that “ Patience is key”. I am almost 100%
sure that this virtue is taught in every family household. While my mother has tried teaching me this
for the past 14 years, I have never been able to comprehend and really take in this virtue. I have trouble
being patient. When it comes to making lines, or counting down the minutes for a package to arrive ,
or any type of waiting I usually end up giving up because I need things to happen at that exact moment.
Working to improve my patience will be difficult but I will try to force myself not to quit when things don't
happen at the moment I want them too. In order to do this, I will attempt to stay in that long line or try to
stay calm when one of my million of online packages is taking to long to come.

Whenever I get the chance to buy something online, I take it. My house has package from package
from package arriving everyday. It’s not even all clothes.We buy from phones to appliances.
My family has no self-control when it comes to online shopping. Honestly, I feel this is something
we should all try to fix together. We don't need half the stuff we buy and the money could be used for
better use. This is why I plan to restrain myself from buying things on the internet. Hopefully my decision
will influence my family and we could all improve in our situation.

I really enjoyed reading about the virtues that your tying to accomplish. This subject is very relatable because most people (most likely) have had to deal with this situation. I also agree the “patience is key”; at the moment, we may not realize it, but it sure is true. Going crazy online, been there, done that. I also wanted to wish you good luck on accomplishing your goal! -Nicole Derivet :)
ReplyDeleteI love the virtues you're planning to focus on, but I want to know, for your third virtue, is it restricting online shopping your issue or os to self control you are trying to achieve? Also, the part with the patience, I totally agree with you but one way to improve patience is by finding the one thing that makes you lose patience the fastest and try starting from there but love your blog so far!- Jaz
