Virtue

I appreciate the virtue of patience.

Virtues are the essence of our reputation/character and character does indeed determine destiny.  Practicing virtues can have impact on our lives, the more our lives open up to new possibilities and thus to greater joy and fulfillment. For example practice the virtue of forgiveness which compliments freedom and transcends anger.
