Patience of course is the opposite of wrath, because it is the ultimate time to think first. It is difficult to be patient when someone pushes that button or is not responding fast enough for you or at all. I give credit to teachers not just because I taught before, but because there are so many personalities to look after at the same time. And if a person has had a hard work day, it is difficult to have patience with family when you return home to activity but just want peace.

Some count to 10 and some need to count to 100 or leave or take a walk. And some just stay away until they calm down or have unwound elsewhere first. These are good practices. I just want everyone to remember the last thing I said about patience:

The methods used for self-control cost the least but not using any form can cost the most.

Remember there’s always a tomorrow.
