Managing Patience (Part 2)

Allah Subhaanahuu Wa Ta'aala has created, sustained, and educated this universe (including human being) with His Great Patience. The Great Patience of God never gives any threat or danger over Him. Unlike The Almighty God, human's patience in most of the time is caused by his discrepency in dealing with someting or by his fear over something or someone. Nevertheless, such weakness actually could be covered by patience. Basically patience is empowering human and not weakening. There is a secret beyond all secrests within patience. There is a big power which would be yielded from patience.

When we want something, we want it immediately right now. We demand to have it now. We will take what we can get now, rather than waiting a little for something better. This is an instict we are born with, the instinct to satisfy our needs whenever we are able to. This is an instinct we picked up from the dawn of time.

Our instinct could be countered by patience. It is something which must be learned and practiced. It is not something which comes naturally to us. Those who master patience become more successful than those who can not.

Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'aala has taught us how to grasp success, as He said in Qur'an Surah Ali 'Imron verse 200: "Yaa ayyuhalladziina aamanushbiruu wa shaabiruu wa raabithuu wattaqullaaha la'allakum tuflihuun."

From this verse of Qur'an we might jump into conclusion that there are four keys to success, they are: 1. Patience; 2. Endurance of patience; 3. Prousional to next step to move on; 4. TAQWA.

Patience without moving on to the next step will never work. There is a Law of Attraction in this universe, so willy-nilly, we have to follow this law. Our move has to be in rhythm with this universe, for The Almighty Allah has created it for us.
