How to develop a mind-set of observing patience over calamities?

Dear Islamic sisters! A calamity does not waive off by one’s complaining, mourning and being impatient; rather, one loses the great reward that she would have attained by observing patience.

Moreover, we should adopt such means by the virtue of which, we are able to remove the habit of impatience, we succeed in facing calamities and we are also counted among those fortunate Islamic sisters who observe patience over calamities and pay gratitude.
