Question: Why is impatience a part of the human make-up, and how can we best handle it when we are impatient?

Message:

When you are impatient, you assume that time exists and is a factor in carrying out the fulfillment of your desires.

You have recognized that impatience is not a pure emotion, but a combination of emotions that indicate unhappiness with a situation. And, you recognize that it is an indicator of a personal issue that can be resolved with further examination.

When a person senses that they are impatient about a situation, they are expressing unhappiness with themselves or their current status with respect to their lives. However, there is a deeper issue(s) which should be addressed for complete resolution. Be aware that there are no boundaries to the eventual expansion of understanding once you take this as an opportunity to explore.

Impatience speaks to the unwillingness to allow the timeliness of events to be as they should be, i.e., evolving on their own (trusting that all will fall into place). Impatience also speaks to your availability for events to happen, and to your inability to reconcile with the orderliness of a greater plan.

Thus, you may have forgotten that nature’s pace is also your pace. Instead, you are sensing an urgency. In many cases, you don’t want to wait for things to develop or open, as they follow a path to fruition.

When you are impatient, you are listening to that part of your ego which wants more; which wants developmental acceleration, and also participates in anxiety-causing activities.

Question: What is our best course of action when we feel impatient?

It may help to follow the impatient feeling into your past and identify a time when you felt the same way. In the majority of cases, you felt this way when you were a baby wanting to be fed. As you waited upon your parent to feed you, your bodily functions began to feel an urgency, as if you would never receive sustenance. And so, impatience is a cry for sustenance, for completion; for ability to complete all actions as you would like them to be.

When you feel impatient, think about this – you will be fed, you will receive, and all will be given in the pace of natural order.

Question: Please clarify the statement that “all will be given.”

Message: In the natural order, all is given and completed. However, the version of completion that the ego or conscious awareness prefers is not necessarily the version that is on the agenda for the individual’s experience.

Question: Is there anything else you’d like to tell me about impatience?

Message:

Where an individual recognizes that they are impatient, there is opportunity for them to explore their current situation and understand aspects of their ego that want more than they have. The soul may also be participating in this experience; triggering the ego to create the thoughts and feelings in order to move the person along their path. Self-introspection about why you are feeling impatient can result in significant personal understanding.
