Patience, How much do I need?

Patience. I sometimes wonder if it is really necessary? But then I see the results of having patience and understand a little bit better. I know I have more time to read and think than most people and this allows me to come to conclusions, before others hardly get started. The problem arises when I want them to come the same conclusions (assuming I am right) I have without giving them the time to study and think it out. Patience I am learning to tell myself, give them some time.
Forcing myself to have some patience, has given me the time to stop and look at what is happening and see that God really is answering our prayers, because rushing around seems to limit my point of view to a narrow strip and I miss what is happening round about me. But then another part of me says slowing to a crawl won’t get you anywhere. I need to find the right mixture, which I believe can happen with the help of the Spirit. I pray for the faith to let it happen.
