Can I Change?

From the Gill Tarot, the Seven of Disks; from The Circle, Origin:

          Gill writes in her lwb that "delay is always instructive." Delay pushes a pause button that I likely would not have pressed, giving me an opportunity to look more closely at the situation and myself. My frustration may point out my lack of commitment and that my persistence is slipping. My impatience could show how I live in the future rather than focus on what is in front of me. When my mind is elsewhere, I'm likely to miss crucial details that will make a difference later. The Circle's booklet states the Origin card reflects discovering the source of something: "Your past plays a significant role in your day-to-day life." While I was at my mom's last weekend, she gave me a copy of her ancestral DNA breakdown (via Ancestry.com) since it would represent half of my own. The results were: Great Britain 28% (Scotland & England likely), Western Europe 26% (Germany likely), Ireland 20%, Scandinavia 16% (Holland likely), Italy/Greece 7%, Iberian Peninsula 2%, and Eastern Europe 1%. In a study of twins reared apart, it was found that more than half of personality traits were due to genetics. Does this mean I can't change my characteristics like impatience? Only if I'm not willing to make the effort.

 Saying "I can't help myself" may not be a valid excuse after all.
