Impatience is a habit; so is patience. To change a habit, we need strong motivation, which comes from knowing the rewards that come from the new behavior. . . . This is soul work as well as mind training and it takes practice and time. . . . This is exciting work, because it promises to help us reclaim our time, our priorities, and our ability to respond to life and all of its demands.
— M. J. Ryan, The Power of Patience
