Patience, a virtue that we must cultivate in order to be happy and successful in all areas of life is often overlooked. However patience can be one of the most important virtues for happiness. For instance patience can assist in solving problems, especially those that are complicated and do not have an easy solution. It is important to bear in mind that patience is not the absence of emotion but the ability to act on emotion despite the lack of immediate satisfaction. Patience is also the key to perseverance, which is the power to continue in spite of opposition or delay, especially when facing greater delay in achieving what we desire.
Patience is a virtue because it enables us to cope with life's challenges by controlling our emotions rather than letting them control us. This is because patience is an attitude we take towards life so that we can keep our calm and remain optimistic despite the obstacles that we may encounter. In addition patience helps us to take appropriate action to solve problems that are difficult to solve by others. In addition patience helps us to persist even under poor or difficult conditions because it enables us to see the positive side of the situation. For all these reasons patience is important for a better mental health and physical well being.
