Daily Lift #114
Learn from the patience of others. Every person who is patient in situations that challenge you, serves as a role model for how you too can be patient.
As you observe the body language, manner of speaking, and word content of patient people, you have a picture of what you need to do to become more patient yourself.
(from Rabbi Pliskin's book "Patience," published by ArtScroll - www.artscroll.com)
