You cannot control the results, only your actions.
While meditating we are simply seeing what the mind has been doing all along.
Support the type of thinking that leads you to feeling good, peaceful & happy.
Patience is supported & nurtured by a quality of forgiveness.
Praise & esteem can feel good, which is fine, but don't look to them for inner peace & lasting happiness.
We must accept the reality that the causes of impatience travel a two-way street.
