So when you are struggling to make a change in your life， ask yourself， "How willing am I， really， to make this change？" If you are not succeeding， there' s a good chance that you may be relying on your belief that you should change， rather than on your intrinsic desire to do so.
Patience is the display of tolerance while awaiting an outcome. You are presented with the lesson of patience the moment you try to create a change within yourself. You expect immediate results and are often disappointed when your first few attempts to follow through fall short. When people who try to lose weight cheat on their diets， they get very frustrated with themselves for not being able to stay with their new eating regime and berate themselves for not changing their patterns.
