Be patient when you have the choice

Link to Patience: Respond well when patience is within your control. These include:

• Responding calmly to provocations or frustrations.
• Choosing honesty and restraint in ethical dilemmas.
• Accepting setbacks with composure.
• Taking time to make thoughtful decisions in uncertain situations.

A good rule of thumb: Be slow in reacting to worldly things but quick in competing for good deeds (to make the distinction, observe the intention of the action).
