Patience is essential to daily life, and it might be your key to a happier life.

Having patience means being able to wait calmly in the face of frustration or adversity. Since we are surrounded by tons of frustration, stressed out people, and constant reminders of hurry, we have the opportunity to practice patience with exactly those situations.

Religions and philosophers have long praised the virtue of patience. But today's society only holds such beliefs when supported by solid evidence.

Studies have found that good things really DO come to those who wait.

Here are a few benefits of cultivating patience that science has figured out.?

• Improved health.

Patient people tend to experience less negative emotions or depression because patience makes you calm down in upsetting or stressful situations. Those who are more patient toward others also tend to be more hopeful and more satisfied with their lives.

• Better relationships with others.

Kindness is certainly one trait of patient people. They also tended to be less lonely because making and keeping friends often requires a good dose of patience. Patience makes you more tolerant, generous, compassionate, and forgiving.

• Achieving goals.

Climbing Mount Everest, building a business, teaching your toddler, or learning a skill – all require patience to get there. The digital world has trained us well to expect immediate results. Many people prefer to move on quickly instead of growing and learning.
