Good one! My attitude for years was "I wanted it now, if not yesterday." I can still have an issue with, when I ask for something, I find myself expecting someone to do what I say, when I say it, not tomorrow. Although I think my son does it just to prove he doesn't plan to on my say so. Then it follows he forgets or goes to do when it is to late. Now that when I get that thought that comes into my head, if I don't act on it, the moment has past, or the opportunity is missed, and/or I forget it and it becomes old news.
The expectations were the problems. I can't expect something of someone who isn't capable of giving or not willing to give. I have learned to lower my expectations, not only of others, but of myself. If everything is in the last minute and rushed, it is generally because I procrastinated and didn't follow that voice. Some times things do happen in the moment, and when they do I go to my God for guidance. I know He will see me through.
