I want patience and I want it now!

There are a multitude of virtues.  One site says “the 7 virtues” while another list 100.  Other sited list different numbers.
I am looking at a list of 11.  They include, Love: emphasizing compassion and care for others.  Faith or a trust and belief.  Hope- the expectation of good things to come.  Kindness or showing consideration and generosity towards others.   Self-Control - The ability to manage one's emotions and impulses.  Joy- A deep sense of happiness and contentment.  Peace or an inner tranquility and harmony with others.  Patience: The ability to endure difficult circumstances without frustration. Goodness: Moral excellence and virtue in actions.  Faithfulness - loyalty and reliability in relationships and Gentleness which exhibits itself in a humble and considerate attitude towards others. (5 sources)
As far as I am concerned they are all legitimate to practice and aspire to, yet there is one I feel is most pertinent to me and the day in which I live.
Patience. 
I did find a number of definitions of patience.  Some I agree with and some I do not.  For example the patience listed above talks about “enduring difficult circumstances without frustration.”  Maybe that is some high form of patience, but I tend to be like “I want patience and I want it now!”
I don’t know I would ever have it without frustration, but I would definitely never have it without faith.  Despite the difficulties some things are worth the wait.
I do like what the Cambridge dictionary says, “the ability to wait, or to continue doing something despite difficulties, or to suffer without complaining or becoming annoyed” but again the “without complaining or becoming annoyed” is a bridge too far.
One of the things I really love about where I am right now is I feel I can be honest with myself and exercise patience in hope at the same time.  As far as I am concerned being honest with myself is healthy.   I can be annoyed, frustrated and wondering why and at the same time peaceful knowing that though I might not understand, someone bigger and smarter than me does.
I can express frustration and confidence while I wait.
