Life often feels like a relentless push and pull—beauty and joy on one side, pain and challenges on the other. And in the midst of it all, impatience creeps in: with others, with circumstances, and often with ourselves.
Perhaps impatience shows up in your relationships, your work, or even with yourself, as you struggle to juggle unrealistic demands or navigate unmet needs.
In this talk, I explore the transformative power of patience—not as passive resignation, but as an active, profound skill to navigate life’s complexities with greater ease and wisdom.
Drawing on timeless Buddhist teachings, modern psychology, and relatable stories, this talk addresses:
- Expanding your heart to include both beauty and sorrow of life
- The roots of impatience—external pressures, thwarted expectations, and inner restlessness—and how to address them with practical, actionable tools
- Three Kinds of Patience: “top-down patience”, “bottom-up patience”, and “bottomless patience”
Explore how patience—one of the key virtues on the path to awakening—can transform your daily experience and help you move through life’s challenges with grace and resilience.
