Long-suffering is to have unfailing patience in time of suffering or turmoil. Practicing patience can make you a pro at being patient. He that endureth shall in due time fly with the eagles, but all things take time and nothing you do will make your desires come before their due season. There is no amount of work or wishing or planning that will force your will upon the universe. Your only influence is to show the universe that you are ready to receive that which you are waiting for. Waiting is a skill that requires strength and is a necessary evil. Therefore consider this:
Patience is a powerful force and... "Time is an ally of those with inner strength - the kind of strength which allows you to be uncompromisingly honest with yourself, while sticking to the path you have charted. If you persevere with a positive attitude, time weakens even the hardest obstacles." ... ~Rick Levine~
