Patience is the Gateway Drug to Complacency

We've all heard it a million times: "Patience is a virtue." Or the classic "Good things come to those who wait." But I call bullshit. Sometimes good things only come to those who make a move. While you are patiently waiting for opportunities someone else is paving their own road towards those goals.

Why is the concept of patience stressed to us so much? Sometimes a little patience can, I'm fact, be helpful but often or is way more productive to be aggressive toward life and go get it. Patience can cause someone to sit in a dead end job for 10 years before realizing there is no room for advancement. Patience can cause you to literally sit on the bench rather than living your life in the moment.

Want my advice? Probably not, but if you read this far I will give it to you anyway. Fuck patience. The world is yours so go grab it by the horns and make this life what you want it to be. Wanna wait around for a good event that may or may not take place? Or do you want to create your own luck and actively participate in this existence? The choice is yours.
