Patience is power — the power of restraint — the power not to be pulled, pushed, or pressured in the wrong direction. Patience can overcome great obstacles and solve major problems.

If you build your life with mental blocks, you’ll box yourself in. Build with patience instead. Patience isn’t about knowing how to wait. Instead it is the willingness to calmly wait. You can’t overcome impatience in a hurry.

Patience doesn’t get irritated with and/or try to silence people who speak against injustice. It listens with compassion.
