In times of frustration and confusion, we need to develop restraint, patience, and calm. We can meditate on impermanence and remind ourselves of the words of the old Persian adage: This too shall pass.

We need to believe that clarity is right around the corner. Fighting moments of frustration and confusion will cause us more pain and suffering; instead, we can start accepting and embracing them. As we ask questions, we need to firmly believe that the answers will come to us.
