Patience is magical.

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

I'm going to talk with you real quick here about patience. Because I am sitting here just above the lobby of the Marriott Hotel in Salt Lake City. And this is the one in city Creek downtown at City Creek is what it's called.

There are multiple Marriott's if you happen to ever stay at a Marriott in Salt Lake City, be sure and remember that there are multiple Marriott's and with very similar names. I already knew this coming into town, I'm looking right now at this is the directory of this city Creek center which is like the outdoor mall here. And there's multiple Marriott's have very similar names.

So this is city Creek center. There's also a Marriott at City Center. This is the Marriott downtown at City Creek. This is this gets kind of confusing, then there's other Marriott's.

But I had been telling my friends who I knew were going to be coming to town there's a conference going to be happening in town here. I told them about this and to be very careful that we are staying at Downtown City Creek.

After all, that I've got my whole family loaded up. We've been traveling for days, if you've been following, we've been traveling, and we get to Salt Lake City and I had I put specifically the right hotel into the GPS to get us right where we needed to go. I get there. I go in and they can't find my reservation.

And they say is it under a different name?

I said not everyone that's in my room has the last name, Pombo. This is the place. Do you mean to be at one of the other places, I'm going oh my gosh, I did it. I went to the wrong hotels. So sure enough, I went to the wrong hotel, I said no problem happens all the time.

They give me a way out of the parking. I leave, get to the right hotel. And I realized that I was sitting there at the reservation desk with my wallet out and I left my wallet right there.

And so I go all the way back there side isn't it's only a few blocks away. But blocks in Salt Lake City are big. And they take a while to get between when you're driving. So had to drive all the way back go and get that but we had kind of this crazy day.

And you have to remain calm and patient you have to laugh off when you're when you do silly things because it's just a stupid, silly thing and there's just nothing else to it.

That's life, right?

And that's patience. And it's not something that I've come to easily. But you either get more and more patient with time or you get bitter and angry and you hold on to things too much. You got to go one direction or the other.

Eventually, you got to get to the point where you were so frustrated that you're done with being frustrated. You realize that frustration gets you absolutely nowhere. Okay.

The only reason why I'm bringing this up is I was at the lobby of the actual hotel had some friends there that I was meeting with. And my kids are just running all over the place like just mad crazy people like they're raised out in the middle of the country, which they are, but they're not always that crazy, but they've been locked up in a car for five hours.

And so they're running around like crazy.

I'm just it's no big deal. You can't control it. You gotta yell, roll with the chaos. And my friend Elsa, you know,
