Impatiens is designed for individuals who are quick-thinking and action-oriented but struggle with patience, particularly when others don’t keep pace with their speed. They may prefer working alone to avoid the slower pace of others. Impatiens can have the positive outcome of a person who is decisive but less hasty in action.
“Those who are quick in thought and action and who wish all things to be done without hesitation or delay. When ill they are anxious for a hasty recovery. They find it very difficult to be patient with people who are slow as they consider it wrong and a waste of time, and they will endeavour to make such people quicker in all ways. They often prefer to work and think alone, so that they can do everything at their own speed.” – Dr. Edward Bach
