patience

feeling a little frustrated/impatient today (regarding a number of things), I decided to try and find something encouraging from this site. I was able to find something pretty soon that reminded me what I need to focus more on.

Here are two quotes that stood out to me:

"We should learn to be patient with ourselves. Recognizing our strengths and our weaknesses, we should strive to use good judgment in all of our choices and decisions, make good use of every opportunity, and do our best in every task we undertake. We should not be unduly discouraged nor in despair at any time when we are doing the best we can. Rather, we should be satisfied with our progress even though it may come slowly at times."

"I believe that a lack of patience is a major cause of the difficulties and unhappiness in the world today. Too often, we are impatient with ourselves, with our family members and friends, and even with the Lord. We seem to demand what we want right now, regardless of whether we have earned it, whether it would be good for us, or whether it is right."

my goal, especially with summer just 3 weeks away, is to become more patient.
