If someone has ever said you have the gift of patience, they need to rethink everything they know about the eight letter word,
Patience.
Patience is hope, and hope is risk, and risk  something that takes willpower.
People mistake willpower and patience for the same thing when that is an immensely incorrect statement.
When someone has patience, they wait and wait and wait until something or someone finally shifts into or off of course. When someone has willpower, they have the drive to stay next to someone, or in a situation until the time is right for them, or something else to change it. Patience is badgering yourself hoping that the person or thing you're staying for is actually worth the effort. Willpower is constant confidence in whatever right or wrong decision you make.

Have patience, but also have the willpower to be intelligent in whatever decision you're making.
