Cultivating Patience, Presence, and Joy for a More Centered Life


Listen Later

This month as we reflect on passion as our theme, one thing that comes to mind is how to keep the passion that you have for something going on when things get tough. Sometimes in life and in business, things don't go as planned. And we can feel like the passion that we initially started with isn’t enough to sustain our goals and take us where we want to go. In this podcast episode, Ryan Stanley shows us how to continue pursuing our passions and following our dreams even when we run into hard times along the way. Ryan's book “Be patient, Be present, Be Joyful” is a delightful book that contains nuggets of wisdom to help us find the strength when passion isn't enough to carry us through rough times. Ryan and I discussed finding the patience to deal with life inconveniences that will inevitably arise and enjoying when things don't go the way we hope it to. Patience helps us put things in perspective and shows us that in the grand scheme of things, a little inconvenience - such as being stuck in traffic - will not derail our goals and hopes for the future. And to be patient, we really need to be present at the moment. Finally, when we are present at the moment, we will find joy and it's that joy that takes us through those rough times when our most passionate desires cannot sustain the pursuit of our goals in life or in business.
