Gratitude is being thankful that you have the opportunity and ability to seek what you want and what you need.
Acceptance is understanding that what you want might not really exist, so you choose to be happy with what you find.
Patience is knowing what you want and being willing to take the time to find it.
This is so powerful in its simplicity and truth and especially applicable now as we learn to live with the reality of COVID-19 and how to protect ourselves and others from it, prevent spreading it and stopping it altogether.
