As long as it's not balsamic vinegar!!

I'd agree with the sentiment of showing patience. I've gotten better at the process the more times I've done it because I've learned not to rush things.

Desiderata

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
