You have to train your body to take a beating. You have to have the heart and the patience to realize you're not going to get it overnight.

The whole purpose of engaging in the practice of patience is to become stronger in mind, stronger in heart.

Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day. Letters to a Young Poet
