Download or read book On Patience written by Matthew Pianalto and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us are so busy that we might be tempted to think we don’t have time to be patient. However, that idea involves a serious underestimation of what patience is and why it matters. In On Patience, Matthew Pianalto revives a richer understanding of what patience is and why it is centrally important in both virtue theory and everyday life. Drawing from a wide range of philosophical and religious sources, Pianalto shows that our contemporary tendency to equate patience with waiting fails to do justice to other aspects of patience such as tolerance, perseverance, and the opposition of patience to anger. With this broader understanding of patience, Pianalto further shows how patience supports the development of other moral strengths, such as courage, justice, love, and hope. In these ways, On Patience sheds light on Franz Kafka’s remark that, “Patience is the master key to every situation,” and Gregory the Great’s perhaps surprising claim that, “Patience is the root and guardian of all the virtues.” This first book-length contemporary philosophical examination of patience will be of interest to students and scholars not just of virtue ethics, but also of moral philosophy more broadly.

This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Moves At The Speed of Me, but God's Timing is Always Perfect In the first of her Living Large for God series, Susan Lee addresses the challenge of maintaining patience and perseverance in a world obsessed with instant gratification. With all the earthly pressure to have it all now, it seems like as soon as you set a goal, obstacles get in the way to keep you from achieving it and to try your patience toward others, the situation, and even yourself. Is it possible that God places so much emphasis on developing and demonstrating patience in the Bible because it is such an unnatural way to think in this world? Satan knows just where to strike you have set a goal. And he uses your impatience as a prime way to keep you from focusing on, and trusting God. By learning to optimistically endure difficult people and circumstances through active patience, we can avoid the penalties associated with our impatience, such as high blood pressure, stress, frustration and strained relationships. Active Patience results in less impulsive outbursts or complaints, as well as keeps us more optimistic, hopeful and productive. Susan Lee tells biblical stories of people who experienced the same struggles with patience as we do and provides practical exercises, tips and techniques for developing more patience. In addition, Living Large for God: Developing Patience and Perseverance in an Impatient World shares God's promises to help develop a more patient spirit, even when times are troubling and challenging. Specifically, you will discover how to: Develop better relationships by finding strategies that work to cope with difficult people Reduce impulsive outbursts and complaints throughout the day Maintain hope and stay productive toward achieving your goals in God's perfect timing Trust in God and stay optimistic during your most trying times Avoid the penalties of impatience such as high blood pressure, stress, and frustration The characteristic of patience is a gift from God and a fruit of the spirit that we can all improve on. By doing so, we will experience more peace and hope for the future. Developing Patience and Perseverance in an Impatient World: Living Large For God; is a great resource for anyone wanting to meet their goals more quickly, improve their relationships, and achieve peace of mind. "Susan Lee interweaves colorful present day and biblical examples to demonstrate our profound need to develop patience and perseverance during our brief time on earth. She doesn't just artfully tell us the stories - she also carefully shows how we can apply principles from each story to our own lives, thereby strengthening our character and becoming stronger men and women of faith." - Jory Fischer "Susan offers a much needed approach to experiencing peace in a chaotic world. " - Anonymous "This book is full of insightful examples from biblical characters, Scripture verses and life applicable suggestions for success in our endeavor to be like Christ - our ultimate example of active patience!" - Tonia C. Harrison "Susan Lee takes the time and thought to help us develop a more critical view of these situations, gain the patience that we need, and links our modern problems to those faced in ancient times" - Jake Darien

Download or read book Grit written by Angela Duckworth and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this instant New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.” “Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere” (People). The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance. In Grit, she takes us into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. “Duckworth’s ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better” (The New York Times Book Review). Among Grit’s most valuable insights: any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal; grit can be learned, regardless of IQ or circumstances; when it comes to child-rearing, neither a warm embrace nor high standards will work by themselves; how to trigger lifelong interest; the magic of the Hard Thing Rule; and so much more. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference. This is “a fascinating tour of the psychological research on success” (The Wall Street Journal).

Book excerpt: WASHINGTON POST BESTSELLER A Financial Times Book of the Month Back to Human explains how a more socially connected workforce creates greater fulfillment, productivity, and engagement while preventing burnout and turnover. The next generation of leaders must create a workplace where teammates feel genuinely connected, engaged, and empowered -- without relying on technology. Based on Dan Schawbel's exclusive research studies -- featuring the perspectives of over 2,000 managers and employees across different age groups -- Back to Human reveals why virtual communication, though vital and useful, actually contributes to a stronger sense of isolation at work than ever before. How can we change this culture? Schawbel offers a self-assessment called the "Work Connectivity Index" that measures the strength of team relationships. He also shares exercises, examples, and activities that readers can work on individually or as a team, which will help them increase personal productivity, be more collaborative, and become more fulfilled at work. Back to Human ultimately helps you decide when and how to use technology to build better connections in your work life. It is a call to action to leaders across the world to make the workplace a better experience for all of us.

Download or read book Lord Give Me Patience and Give It to Me Right Now written by Rev. James W. Moore and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are an impatient people who want everything done in a hurry. But God refuses to be rushed. In the words of author James W. Moore: We love instant results. We want everything done in a hurry these days. We don’t want to wait for anything. We are so different from the earlier generations who ordered things from the Sears catalog and waited with great anticipation for weeks or even months for the items to arrive. We want to pay a little down now (even if we can’t really afford it) and get it today. We are impatient people looking for immediate action and instant gratification, so much so that God’s patient ways sometimes confuse, perplex, and bother us. We are impatient, but God is deliberate, steady, and long-suffering. We look for the speedy way, the shortcut, the instant answer, the immediate solution. But God takes the long way ’round. God refuses to be rushed. The way to become a spiritually mature Christian is to spend so much time with Christ that we begin to think and act like him, to spend so much time with him that we take on what the apostle Paul called “the mind of Christ.” It just takes time and effort and commitment. There are no easy, instant solutions. What we need to remember is that the things that matter most take time, effort, commitment, discipline, lots of practice, lots of hard work . . . and lots of patience. Working chapter titles include, “Lord, Give Me Patience, and Give it to Me Right Now”; “Lord, Give Me Perseverance”; “ Lord, Give Me Faith”; “Lord, Give Me Forgiveness”; “Lord, Give Me Love”; “Lord, Give Me Childlikeness”; “Lord, Give Me Life”; “Lord, Give Me Grace”; and others. This book includes twelve chapters and a discussion guide.

Download or read book St Monica and the Power of Persistent Prayer written by Mike Aquilina and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2013-04-26 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us give up on prayer when we don't get the answer we want WHEN we want it. For nearly two decades, Saint Monica prayed for her wayward son. Years and years of prayers, seemingly unanswered. Countless tears shed with no relief. Yet she would not give up. That very act of persistent prayer blessed the entire Church, for we have all benefitted from the conversion of her son, Augustine, who became one of the most revered saints of all time. Parents of any age or at any stage can cultivate the same virtues in prayer that Saint Monica discovered during her long wait for God's answer for her child. This devotion includes 18 contemporary reflections, meditations taken from the writings of Saint Augustine, and prayers adapted from the liturgy and other ancient sources. Don't give up. Persistence in prayer can change everything-for you, your children, and maybe even the world.
