Learning how to do, by doing not

I'll admit, patience is not always my strong suit.

I don't necessarily think I'm headstrong, but I'm typically more of "wanting to get it done" kind of guy. I prefer to make assess information, make a decision and move ahead.

This is probably the primary reason I know how to do a lot of the stuff I know how to do, because I didn't want to wait for someone else to get it done for me.

Over the last couple of years, the impatience has toned down a lot as I grow older and more experienced.

Once in a while it's still a surprise to me that I have to stop and and counter the "we have to get this thing done" impulse with the fact that there are times when waiting is what needs to be done.

Hopefully I'm getting better at that as we go:)
