 How To Use Impatience as a strength I am in a PD program where the emphasis is on your strengths. While not a strength, I know that I am very impatient. I have worked on being more patient but usually find myself getting frustrated and bored. Going through this program got me thinking, how can I use this as a strength?? I have leveraged my impatience for getting things done and being a better task master for people I manage. This gives me some short term fulfillment but would like to accomplish something more than being a task master. What say you. Are there any impatient people out there who have used this to their advantage, if so how?

| I'm a rather impatient person on many things, but also a very patient person in different respects. I've used my impatience, in the past, to push myself to do things I'm afraid of, to move forward even if it feels reckless, to convince myself to just DO it. Ironically, this has not worked for pushing myself to learn to be more patient.
