How do you get patience?

Answer:
One can get patience by the equanimity. According to the Buddhist philosophy, all the emotional feelings can be overcome if the state of mind is in equanimity it leads to peace and patience. In short, to want patience is to demonstrate impatience. Accepting the fact that the universe runs at its own pace, not respecting your needs or desires (The traffic light will stay red no matter how important your meeting is) is the first step towards becoming patient.
