Yes, things go wrong. They don't work out or take too long. I believe that there is no such thing as a good decision or a bad one. A so-called good decision made today may turn out to be a bad decision tomorrow, or next week, or next year or in five years and vice versa. What makes the difference is intent .
Intention is the key to patience.
If you are striving for truth in your everyday life you are a patient individual. If you are seeking selfish means to a quick and positive outcome you are alone with yourself. You become a slave to your own selfish and greedy ambitions. All of us have some degree of selfishness in us. We are human and therefore can never be perfect.
