Active vs Passive Patience.
I learned that there are two types of patiences. Active and passive.
Passive patience is about being idle. Having desires, dreams, and wishes but doing nothing to materialize them. Waiting for the day when those desired things automatically come to them.
Active patience is about actually doing something. It needs intention and action.
For example, if someone wants to be an author. So he or she tries to write a book. If someone wants a good physique, they go and join the gym.
Both are waiting for something to happen. But the active patience doer will be successful.
