I find that whenever I am impatient (which is fairly uncommon), it is due to a lack of confidence in the outcome of my actions.
For example, I can have song ideas float around in my head for years on end, because - through experience - I have learned that eventually they will emerge as complete songs. However, when I text-ed something nice to a girl I like, I grew very impatient for an answer very quickly...
So, for me at least, I become more patient when I'm more confident about or, perhaps, less attached to the outcome of my actions.
