I don't want to dwell too much on the specifics of my talents, since it will disrupt the thread, but I'll mention this because it might help people better understand what they might label as... well, read on and you'll understand.
My impatience stems from my activator talent theme, and heh, only taking two steps at a time is inherently unnatural to me. My challenge is about taking something that is very vague and making that approach into a plan that I can apply, which appeases my strategic talent (which is my #1 talent theme).
That's ok. I can do that easily enough.
These traits are strengths. It's more productive within the realm of personality to look at what a person has rather than what they don't have (e.g. patience). Paradoxically, I'm one of the more patient people you will meet, but I crave results more intensely than most. Interesting, no? That's the beauty of talents: they can conflict, but still be in harmony, because they don't exist in isolation, but rather weave together to create something unique.
