It is never your circumstances that affect you as much as what you think about them. Learn to place yourself above your circumstances. See it from God's perspective. You have the power to affect your circumstances instead of allowing it to affect you.

Patience is not a feeling. It is a decision not to allow anything to rob you of your joy; it is a choice to keep the peace you have within and endure what you are to called to endure for a season. It is the knowledge that once you begin complaining, you have let go of your peace.
 
Well said, Joidevivre. It's just that it's harder to be the thermostat rather than the thermometer. I need His grace :)
 
I didn't say it was easy. If we can only do this 50% of the time, we are doing pretty good I'd say.
