Patient resolve is far more transformational than impotent rage. Whenever we see that something is wrong, in outside us or even inside us, we may get angry. And that anger, though powerful, may well be short-lived. Even if that anger lasts longer, if it is not transformed into some tangible resolve coupled with a clear strategy for transformation, it will remain impotent. That’s why rather than dwelling on such impotent rage, we can focus on cultivating a patient resolve. That means we outline a clear path for transformation and then give ourselves the time to walk steadily on that path till transformation becomes real and relishable.
