Patience | noun | the capacity to wait a given period of time without losing your shit; the habit of not rushing yourself, or allowing yourself to be rushed; the practice of accepting the present moment for what it is, or present company for who they are.
Fortitude | noun | strength of mind, will, or character; a state of not taking shit from yourself or anybody else; the ability to act without hope of personal reward.
