Mel’s Mindful Moments S1-E27 transcript:

Our digital world has unfortunately increased our need for instant gratification.

It has helped to create what I refer to as a “Microwave mentality”.

Sure, we can do more things now in a few minutes, that would have taken days or even weeks to accomplish.

At the press of a button our order is purchased, processed and soon delivered to our door.

While this convenience seems great, it destroys our ability to wait on things.

I mean now…

“We lose our patience in an instant!”

I’ve seen people get boiling mad when the have to wait in line for something. And some people even became verbally abusive about it.

If patience is truly a good virtue to have,

then we better start finding ways to develop it outside of our digital world.
