One of the past conference talks that I really enjoyed was "Continue in Patience" from the April 2010 priesthood session of conference by Elder Uchtdorf. I obviously wasn't able to listen to it first hand but was able to read it in the Ensign the next month. He talks about patience and how it is a much needed virtue especially in today's fast-paced society. He describes patience as 'active waiting and enduring...Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!' I love this because even if we are waiting for something, we can and should still do all we can to enjoy each day and make the most of what we have and what we're doing.
"Patience is a process of perfection. The Savior Himself said that in your patience you possess your souls. Or, to use another translation of the Greek text, in your patience you win mastery of your souls. Patience means to abide in faith, knowing that sometimes it is in the waiting rather than in the receiving that we grow the most. This was true in the time of the Savior. It is true in our time as well, for we are commanded in these latter days to “continue in patience until ye are perfected.”
