That's what people say, anyway. If you wait long enough, good things happen, but I don't think this is always true. In some cases, sure. But others, not so much. I can't even count the number of times I've been told "just wait", and I do, and nothing happens until I grab the bull by the horns.
So, that's a particular thing I am considering adopting to my life. Don't just sit and wait for things to happen, but to take some sort of control and make sure things get done. Work is a good example. Got pushed around a bit, as I had mentioned, and rather than sit by and wait, I grabbed the bull by the horns, got my stuff done, and while I did not take action against the employee who made me angry, the situation WAS dealt with.

Thing is, I have found that being patient, in many cases for me, brings about frustration, disappointment, and overall negativity. The reason for this is not that I am impatient, but quite the opposite. I believe I am TOO patient. So patient that I end up forgotten. It is easy to put something off indefinitely when you do not think about it, you know.

However, in my endeavors, I know that moderation is key. There are no results to be gained by kicking in the door and screaming. A more restrained but firm touch is required, and that is what will be given, even if it leaves a bad taste in my mouth afterward.
