My name is: I.P. Freely

I can recommend something today.
Patience.
I have a hard time practicing patience. But it does pay off.
For example, today I can fit into a size pants that I couldn't two months ago, or last month for that matter.
And I want to be at least two sizes smaller, but I need to be patient. . .and wait for the small changes to start adding up to larger visual results.

If you were a spider, for example, you would probably have a lot of patience. You have to spin a web n' shit. That's more detail work then I could handle.
Or if you were a dog, you would typically have a lot of patience, waiting at home for your owner to take you out to pee.
That would suck. Having to wait until someone took me outside so I could pee.
I am so glad I'm not a dog.
Or, if you were a camel, you would have a great deal of patience. (That sentence just speaks for itself).

I could go on and on.

I think it comes from an inner calmness, a relaxed place - speaking as a human being (for I am one), I can say that in my daily life it is a struggle to find that relaxed place.
It's about mastering the ability to let yourself out of your proverbial cage so you can pee freely.
Word.
