Patience (or forbearing) is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without acting on negative annoyance/anger; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties.

https://mindworks.org/blog/the-challenges-of-silent-meditation/If you tend to feel like you should be working on something else instead of meditating, relax, you’re in good company. Many people find it hard to sit through an entire silent meditation retreat because of the persistent feeling that they should be doing other “important stuff.”
To counteract this challenge, it’s important to acknowledge the presence of this lack of patience when it arises. This empowers you to deal with the feeling effectively instead of letting it rule you. Acknowledging and letting go are the sine qua non for effective meditation. By recognizing and working with feelings of impatience, you prepare your mind to effectively face all kinds of other issues with aplomb. This builds confidence in the process and in your ability to put the method into practice.
