Life inevitably brings periods of upheaval, chaos, and challenges that test our patience and perseverance. Whether dealing with a stressful situation at work, relationship turmoil, health issues, or any of the myriad crises that can arise, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, frustrated and impatient for relief.
