Patience, like impatience, is a learned behavior. In other words, it requires practice. Usually, losing your temper comes after becoming frustrated. You have time to make a choice.
When you feel like you are about to fly off the handle, see if you can give yourself a couple moments to take a deep breath. Ask yourself why you are about to lose it. If it's because of someone else's behavior, realize that they make their own choices and getting angry will benefit no one. If it is because of the frustration of your own desires, redefine your desires/goals. Make them more realistic.

experiencing things that require patience... like being around people who try your patience and making the decision to test yourself. Every day of your life for the rest of your life and then you'll get more and more patience. You can never have enough.

Stop being so selfish. Put others needs and wants ahead of urs.
Do some king of community service and try to help those who need a hand.
Stop, take a deep breath and realize that life is too short to stress the small stuff.

You wait for it.
No, seriously, when you want something, or you expect something, or you need something, once you do what you need to do toward obtaining your goal, stash your impatience, telling it, in a minute, in a minute, and after a while your impatience gives up on nagging you and you will be using patience.

It is one of the fruits of the spirit. You pray, fast and ask God for it. Love, Joy, Peace, Long suffering, goodness, gentleness, kindness, faith,meekness, temperance, and patience is in there somewhere.
