Impatience is an unwillingness to wait for something or someone that leads to frustration and anger. It may lead to procrastination, poor decision-making, and relationship problems, as well as health issues such as anxiety, heart disease, and obesity.
While it can be damaging when chronic and uncontrolled, impatience can be used as a driving force to accomplish goals and take action when directed properly.
