be patient
Don't rush it
Be patient is an encouragement or instruction to wait calmly, tolerate delay, or remain composed despite frustration.
It often appears as gentle advice: Be patient—good things take time.
The phrase can also carry a mild edge of exasperation when someone is rushing or pestering: Just be patient, I'm working on it.
