Impatience is in part a reflection of modern society. Especially the technology aspects that we all face in our individual business and personal activities. Everything in life is now 24/7 to the extent that "24/7" is now an easily recognised term in modern English - it actually appears in the latest edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary. This represents substantial pressure for any individual to challenge in their daily work life where time lines now govern your every move and dare I say, potentially your mood as well. The advent of web enabled technology couples with the pervasive nature of emails and smart mobile phones now form the basis for instant communication and rapid response times. I believe the real essence of this is to ensure that you are gaining control over your own life rather than your work dictating your life so the suggestions that you are raising are in fact the essence of effectively "taking control" of your own actions. Great topic Jenn with some powerful suggestions. I think half the battle is being able to identify your triggers. It took me some time to identify these and once you do you really understand the power of "taking control". And being the person that always wants to be in control of ME, I find the process very beneficial.

Thank you for your thoughtful and reflective comment. I am glad this post means something to you and it helped you appreciate your own progress in self development. Yes impatience can be a byproduct of our current society. I agree that not letting it get the best of you is related to our locus of control. When we think we have no control we fall into the blame/victim game. Control or being more self directed can empower us in the choices and actions we take. I still have my own questions of the balance between this apparent control and letting go/surrendering. So perhaps a topic for another post/discussion.
Warmly,
Jenn
