Discourses on Patience
The method
Patience is resistance on the road towards perfection, not resignation. What holds in hardship is not what holds against temptation, so the discipline begins with naming which of the three is being asked of you right now.
How the app helps you keep it
You can follow this method for forty days. It adds 2 steps to your day, each one tickable, with the reasoning behind it a tap away:
- Name the patience — morning
- Hold the line — through the day
Each evening you write what happened and which defence held, so the forty days end in a record of your own pattern rather than a row of ticks. A slip is noted and never resets the count.
