During times of great hardship or stress it can be difficult to not only find time to practise meditation, but also to find peace in our life.  This is why we should try as often as possible to create a mind that can automatically turn to patience.  By cultivating a sense of patience as often as possible in as many situations as possible we can become better at enduring some of the things which upset our mind.  It isn't easy to do, but the more you practise, the more the mind will naturally view all events with calm understanding.  This may help not just the meditation periods, but our overall handling of difficult times.
