"Change is the one thing we can count on . . . Perseverance, patience, and courage help us manage change."~p. 267, Elena Aguilar's Onward
"Classifying our complaints into those we can control, those we can influence, and those we can't control is a step toward using our energy wisely."~p. 270
How to deal with unwanted change:
- slow down
- evaluate and analyze the situation
- use your energy where it counts
- be open to outcomes
"Patience is an emotion and a skill. Impatience is often triggered by events outside our control, ones we think should be different. Patience begins when we accept ourselves and the way things are."~p. 285
"Resilient people are tenacious, and completing challenges strengthens this disposition . . . Yet, in order to cultivate perseverance and tenacity, you must look beyond short-term concerns and toward long-term goals. You need to put off immediate gratification and manage your impatience."~p.286
