Patience was something that I try to have on a daily basis. Especially as a father. It is something that is tested every minute of every day. However, I have learned over the last six years or so. It is not about what others do. It is about how you respond to others. I have really made the attempt to hold that thought close. I try my hardest to be understanding and always give others the benefit of the doubt. Even if it costs me my own sanity. Others have said that “I am to nice” or that “I really need to learn to put myself first”. But, I find it harder to do that as I have gotten older for sure.

As far as the pointing others faults out go. I hold my friends to a high standard. I always tell them. When you want my opinion. You are going to get it in full. So be prepared for it to not always be what you want or sometimes expect to hear. I am always honest and never sugar coat things for them. If they value me as a friend. I have always felt they would respect the honesty. Because it is something I appreciate as well.
