Patience is an ever present alternative
to the mind's endemic restlessness and impatience.

and blaming someone (often yourself) or something for it.

It is possible even to hurry patiently, mindfully,
moving fast because you have chosen to.
- Jon Kabat-Zinn

To let go means to give up coercing, resisting, or struggling,

without getting caught up in your attraction to or rejection of them,
in the intrinsic stickiness of wanting, of liking and disliking.
- Jon Kabat-Zinn
