Listening to one of the Bangor University guided meditation practices, I noticed (towards the end of the session) two phrases during the instruction:
Continue to return to noticing and following the breath "with determination and patience."
Continue "cultivating steadiness and calmness and kindness."
These phrases struck me as a good encapsulation of right living, and a good reminder to me in my daily life... be both determined AND patient with yourself and with others... So often I am not patient nor particularly determined (which suggests that you have a very specific goal).
And cultivate in yourself (cultivate, like in a garden) steadiness, calmness, and kindness
