Why wait?

Even though I am further along the road of patience, I still must travel.
I must believe there's some benefit to me that I can be completely patient, not knowing what that benefit is.
I don't understand my patience is required! Why can't things happen now? How is everything supposed to be the way it is, because it is that way, without it being the way I want! Why do I have to wait before it can be my way!?
I know it does no good to be inpatient, I only hurt myself, but why must I wait!?
