Am I ?
Maybe not as much as I used to be. Looking back though, too much patience is a problem too. After a while it's more like " oh humble doesn't mind. I can say or do what ever I like. He doesn't care."
People take advantage unfort.. The plus side is you get a good reputation "Humble is such a nice guy. What a gentleman!"
Yet the Bible points to the importance of patience. "Love is patient. Love is kind."
Ok the truth is yeah I've gone too far the other way. Reactive impatience is my default mood now. That's un nice I know. You see it a lot on the net. Realistically I need to improve at least.
 
We live on a tough world humble soul. You can get your patience back though. If you do it you will have peace of mind
It is true that people can wear your patience out. We can wear God's patience out.

I only want some of it back. I need some for driving for example.
And waiting in queues.
I think Jesus lost his patience a few times didn't he? Those dumb disciples were clueless .
 
There is no rush in life. There is one thing I believe and that is patience and time will always give the best results.

Patience (time), and quality, over speed (rush)
and quantity.

One exception. Don't be patient with bullies. Let them know early you aren't tolerating any of their nonsense.
