Patience implies willingness to be alive, rather than trying to seek harmony. Patience is not learned when everything is going well, but when things do not go our way. Patience is learned when our expectations collide with the reality of the situation.
Winter storms may destroy some things, but they also prepare the way for new life. If things are swept away, this makes room for new living things to emerge and begin their own cycle. Things cannot remain in stillness, everything changes.
It is a universal law that what you say and do determines what happens in your life. If you think this law is external to you, your desires will trouble your mind and you will be in constant turmoil. Recognize that you and this law are one, therefore cultivate yourself, bring moderation to your life and clarity to your mind.
It is important not to get intoxicated by success. Do not skip any stages in your progress; go slowly step by step as though hesitant. It is important to remain mindful, conscientious and consistent, this frees one of blind impulse. Only such calm steady progress, overleaping nothing, leads you to your goals.
