When we begin to reflect, we discover that we have so many, I would say so very many, things to change - so many that we do not know where to start.

Well?

Too much confusion!

Calm down. Calm down!

One thing at a time!

Without hurrying!

With patience, you can achieve everything!

Today, unfortunately we lack patience. We all want everything immediately and, even better, for the day before yesterday. Do you know this saying?

Patience is the virtue of the strong!

Observing life today, we ourselves and what is happening around us, we realise, with sadness, that the strong are lacking, that is: THE PATIENT PEOPLE.

We want to become strong. Well? Thinking logically, we must become patient. Either we do things well or it is better not to do them at all.

OK? Do you agree?

Whoever does not, please shut this book, do not continue reading it - it’s for those who want to become strong.

Who of us does not want to become strong?

No-one!

That’s the correct answer!

Goodness – we’ve taken the first step. I was thinking it would be worse You’re convinced! However, we often use the word “patience” in the wrong way, as a justification for our wrong behaviour. The mechanism is more or less like this:

we are wrong

to say to ourselves “patience”,

but then to not do anything to change our behaviour

– we remain as we were before

and we make mistakes again,

saying to ourselves “patience”

and so on, ad infinitum!

! In this case, patience does not come into it: this is not patience. I’ll repeat it again – it’s a justification!

When I talk about patience I am thinking of Patience with a capital P.

P

P

P

that is: a planned and constant work on ourselves which brings us to improvement. We can make mistakes, but we don’t want to remain with our mistake, drowning, we commit ourselves to be braver. Braver every day, step by step.

There you are, now I would like to give you some practical suggestions on where to start. What habits to develop.
