Have patience…stay patient – are they the same thing?

Maybe.

Depends on what the issue is.

Depends on the situation.

Depends on your mood.

Depends on what happened just prior, the day before and a week before.

Depends on whether this is a repeat or new occurrence.

Depends on who is in front of you.

No matter how you look at it, stay patient is a good mantra to repeat in your head. You may have patience, but if it wears thin, or you have just had too much to deal with in the moment, and you may not be able to cope. Hang in there. You can do it.
