Don't Sweat the Small Stuff--And It's All Small Stuff

Being patient allows me to keep my perspective. I can remember, even in the midst of a difficult situation, that what's before me - my present challenge - isn't "life or death" but simply a minor obstacle that must be dealt with. Without patience, the same scenario can become a major emergency complete with yelling, frustration, hurt feelings, and high blood pressure. It's really not worth all that.
