Patience and tolerance
The ability to pause and think before responding and acting, despite provocation.
If this is a strength for you, you may…
take your time and make considered decisions
count to 10 before acting
not react to provocation or ‘baiting’
be the voice of reason in an argument
know how to ‘hold your fire’
If this is a challenge for you, you may…
fly off the handle
react impulsively to provocation
not take time to think things through
put your ‘foot in your mouth’
