Good things really do come to those who wait.

Having patience means being able to wait calmly in the face of frustration or adversity, so anywhere there is frustration or adversity—i.e., nearly everywhere—we have the opportunity to practice it.

Some of these science-backed benefits are detailed below, along with three ways to cultivate more patience in your life.

1. Patient people enjoy better mental health.

2. Patient people are better friends and neighbors.

3. Patience helps us achieve our goals.

4. Patience is linked to good health.

Three ways to cultivate patience:

Reframe the situation.

Practice mindfulness.

Practice gratitude.

We can try to shelter ourselves from frustration and adversity, but they come with the territory of being human. Practicing patience in everyday situations—like with our punctuality-challenged coworker—will not only make life more pleasant in the present, but might also help pave the way for a more satisfying and successful future.

It is important to recognize that mistakes are inevitable and living by trial and error is part of our natural evolution. Growth will start as soon as you recognize and admit your mistake and make the appropriate efforts to uncover what went wrong.

Follow these steps to learn from mistakes and grow as a person. When you start looking at your errors as opportunities for growth, you will see them as a necessary learning experience rather than a form of failure.

In “Things Have Changed,” Dylan confesses:

“People are crazy and times are strange

I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range

I used to care, but things have changed”

I know I can’t be alone in this familial struggle, and so I challenge you to really think about why you are entering into each discussion you have during this exhausting time. These are some of the questions I’ve been asking myself when deciding whether or not to engage.

• What am I trying to gain? What is the end goal of my engagement?
• Is this productive? Will I or other participants learn something valuable?
• Will I be able to move past this discussion in a reasonable amount of time, or will it burden me?

The community building aspect of RJ is critical during this time, but we could all also learn something from the values of conflict resolution. You don’t owe anybody your engagement in conflict, but you do owe yourself kindness as you continue to settle into our new normal. Dylan reminds us, “People are crazy and times are strange…things have changed.”

Here are five crucial lessons I learned from one of the world’s greatest rappers.

1. Your Economic Background Does Not Matter When It Comes to Achieving Success
2. You Don’t Need To Succeed in School For You To Succeed in Life.
3. You Can Defy the Odds
4. You Can Use Pain to Fuel Yourself to Greatness
5. Never Ever Give Up

Most of us would give up if we faced such obstacles. However, after being booed, Eminem always upped his game and went back on stage to rap until people loved his rapping style.

‘I’ve been chewed up, and spit out and booed off stage. But I kept rhyming and stepped right in the next cipher (Rap Competition)’ – Eminem, Lose Yourself.

Biography:

Katie Melua is one of Britain’s most successful recording artists of the millennium selling more than 11 million albums, 1 million concert tickets and receiving 56 platinum awards.

Buying books is probably my biggest vice when I travel.

I never wanted to be a celebrity.

But I do believe in living life to the full and so I have no problems spending money on travel and holidays.

I am not saying everything’s perfect, but I embrace anything bad because that makes me appreciate all the good.

I’ve always been very open and unspecific about what kind of music I want to make.

I started writing and recording, at a very basic level, just in my own bedroom.

But I do think I’m quite a selfish performer in the sense that I’m not one of those that’s like ‘Hey, come on everybody lets sing along’ you know that kind of thing.

I’m enjoying doing research, to get better at the guitar, to get better at rhyming. That’s an essential skill.

When I had a mental breakdown I was 26 and the most important thing before that was my work. And I still adore it. But it was all that mattered and everything else was secondary: my relationship, my family, my own health.

My focus was, and still is, totally on making music, getting on the road and performing live.

I go into a book store and start having heart palpitations. I get very excited.

I don’t get to do that very often so to just have a completely free evening where your mind is relaxed enough to read a book is exquisite.

I think singing is such an important and incredible art form and it is quite undervalued at times.
