If we react as we always have we'll probably keep getting the same results, won't we?
When we encounter frustration, do we give up? Back off? Or do we decide to keep going until we reach our goal?
At one time didn't the burden of frustration allow us to make the easy decision to stop at the bar - or the dope house?
But how do we change old habits?
For me, it's simple: patience, To realize everything's not going to fall into my lap simply because I want it. Most of the good that's come my way the past 20+ years is the result of patience.
If we have the mindset that life is ups and downs, successes and failures, then we accept setbacks more easily.
And patience allows us to react differently.
