Want It Now

We want everything now! 'Now' is our motto. There’s nothing wrong with wanting things or making things happen – now, but because we can get anything we want, now, there’s less patience involved. This means that we’re not very good at waiting.

Next time you have to wait and start to feel impatient, count to 5 and be in the now. Now a) get more realistic about how long things take, and what goes into getting what you want, now, and b) Breathe and think, 'less now, more patience.'
