These quotes on patience will bring peace to your mind and joy to your heart.

I’m at a point in my life where peace of mind has become one of my highest priorities.

Time to blossom, to develop, to grow, to mature… And if we don’t learn the art of patience, by allowing life to follow its natural course, chances are that we will continue to force and resist the natural flow of things, inflicting a lot of unnecessary pain onto ourselves and onto those around us.
