Test Of Patience & Perseverance

It has been a hectic week for me especially on Monday which I had an incident, I have been challenged by a circumstance which tested my level of patience. On that fateful day, I was craving a traditional porridge, Bubur Ayam with all toppings to my liking and I got a bargain price via online application promos. I ordered smoothly and I was waiting eagerly as I starved. The problem came with the delivery. An unknown person received it, the driver had to go back to the Bubur Ayam shop to replace it and got a new portion. He went to place and supposedly met me but he got lost. During the delivery situation, I have been calling & talking to the driver back and forth. I got my Bubur Ayam in an hour and half. Finally! I was so angry midway through the phone call and really really angry at the ens of the call.

The incident has made me very agitated and exhausted. I was afraid that I would have a relapse of OCD when I was calm enough to think rationally. I am basically an impatient person and perseverance is really needed to get where I am now AND it has been tested. I admitted that my fuse lit by this and I did not pass with flying colors. I would say 5/10. After I reaching a very calm state of mind, I thought back and was glad that God has been with me through all this, did not relapse, and I still ask for the strength to get me through the day. Sometimes, we have many bad days but it does not mean we could not walk through it - the events, the processes, and the outcomes. All these are important. It all comes back to ourselves, how we respond - perseverance is tested. It is okay if you respond poorly like me. At least, we try and we do want to be a better version of ourselves.
