Most definitey. It is extremely powerless feeling to know that some unknown person has such sway over my life and learning to manage the stress that comes with governmental red tape... that takes patience.
Yes, the government can be taxing, in more ways than one [8|]

The fact that our ability to reason is what sets us apart from animals is why patience is so important. What would the world be like if we all acted on just emotions and instinct? Remember, slow and steady wins the race.
Yes, it's a balancing act though, also. Action and patience..... but being patient is an action in itself.

Patience.
I had thought I was an impatient person but so much of our balance hinges on it. Being his has required patience and trust which for me tend to go hand in hand. I have to trust that my patience will be rewarded, I have to know that I will be seeing him and eventually moving to his area.
Sometimes patience is required in smaller things, things that I want to do and do now but he tells me to wait. Usually it is something that will tax me and he wants me to wait, I have to trust that he knows what is best for me and stifle my impulse to go do 'whatever'.
For a long time I would feel a big angry or resentful having to wait. I don't know if it is something I've just adjusted to, but waiting for most things is a lot easier.
I'm not sure if this is the type of answer you're looking for..but it's what I have.
It's a good answer, my friend. I know that you're having to be awfully strong, and I think you're going to be fine.

I'm a very impatient person in general. I want matters solved asap, I hate waiting for anything, and yep, I rip into my Christmas and birthday presents first thing. But I'm finding that my impatience doesn't work well in our relationship. The quick conclusions that I came to in other matters don't work with us because a lot of the things that I'm learning and growing into require careful thought and processing. Sometimes my first conclusion isn't the one I stick with in the long run. And my impulsiveness has led to a few bumps in the road for us.
Fortunately Master has oodles of patience and I'm learning from how he interacts with me for ways to take a step back and breathe before acting. And he does understand that we're building a relationship and is patient enough to let me step forward at a pace which is comfortable for me. Which helps us greatly.
And, oh yeah, with the kinky stuff ... I'm also learning how to be patient there, which has greatly increased my pleasure, which is one hell of a payoff! The quickie "O" isn't always the best one! [;)]
[8D] Indeed.
Nice post; I thank you for it.

Patience plays in every relationship kink or not everyone needs patience. I can see what you are saying though patience plays alot in D/s because it takes time to get to know and trust your partner and what they can and can't handle.
It does; in any relationship, it's easy enough for things to get broken, but a kink relationship has its special challenges [8|]
