"...Patience is not passive resignation, nor is it failing to act because of our fears. Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and doing all that we can-working, hoping, and exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed. Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well." President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
I think perhaps it comes down to discerning the desires of our hearts and then ACTING accordingly. If those desires are still in embryo then a wise woman would choose to act upon the principles and laws she already has a grasp on, even on the seemingly small inklings or glimpses of where and who she should be ten or twenty years down the road.
It seems I should take that advice to heart.
