I think more is 100% right and I think this fits right in with your other threads about road rage and anger. A person who lacks in emuna does not realize how Hashem is guiding him all the time and how everything that happens is for a reason and for his good. If you are impatient to get something, go somewhere, do something, etc, it means that you don’t understand that you will get it/do it/go only when it is the appointed time and that it is this way for a reason. If you don’t have it now, then it’s not supposed to be this way. Just because you think otherwise doesn’t mean you’re right, that’s ga’aiva.

I think you should take a step back and look at all of these middos that you have been posting about and try to see them as parts of the whole picture of your personality and see how emuna and bitachon fit into this. Leaning Chovos HaLevovos Sha’ar HaBitachon is excellent for developing these middos (improving good ones and decreasing bad ones).

Lots of Hatzlacha!
