The Buddha said that "existence is suffering" and "its cause is desire".
The desire for things to be different than they are moves us away from the nature of life as it is revealed to us in this very moment.
It would be wise to temper our desires, learn to accept and as you say have patience when we find we are struggling against life as though it were something that is happening to us rather than with us.
Buddhism is the religion which many wud embrace for the mere values like this which it preaches, I love it personally too.. Thank you for sharing this comment here :)
