The impatience of things going wrong is the defect of a quality –an insistence on accuracy and order. The thing is to keep the quality and get rid of the defect.

IMPATIENCE WHEN THINGS SEEM TO BE GOING WRONG
ORDER & RHYTHM AND PHYSICAL LIFE
There can be no physical life without an order and rhythm. When this order is changed, it must be in obedience to an inner growth and not for the sake of external novelty. It is only a certain part of the surface lower vital nature, which seeks always external change and novelty for its own sake.
It is by constant inner growth that one can find a constant newness and unfailing interest in life. There is no other satisfying way.
