Something must change right now for me to be ok
No wonder no one has patience with me. I don’t even have patience with me!
Why even bother to consider being patience, no one else is patient.
Waiting for anything just reminds me of how useless being patient is. I can’t get what I want anyway.
He/she is going to be angry with me no matter what I do or don’t do. This delay means I am not going to get what I need and want.
I can’t wait! I must have it now! I can’t rest until I get it! I don’t want to wait. Why should I?
Patience doesn’t make things happen. I have to push and push for results. The energy of anger and frustration covers my fear and forces others to do what I want.
Patience is not for me, because my desires take priority.
