2. SHOULD YOU “BE PATIENT”
OR “HAVE PATIENCE”?
 Patience is the ability to endure a long wait calmly or deal
with annoying problems without frustration.
 You can be patient, because patient is an adjective; You
can have patience, because patience is a noun
“He that can have patience can have what he will.”
Benjamin Franklin

pasti akan mati.Cintailah siapa pun yang ingin
engkau cintai,tetapi (ingat) engkau pasti akan
berpisah darinya.Berbuatlah sesuka hatimu

5. SIGNS OF IMPATIENCE
How do you know when you're being
impatient? You will probably experience one of
more of the following symptoms:
 Shallow breathing (short breaths).
 Muscle tension.
 Hand clenching/tightening.
 Jiggling/restless feet.
 Irritability/anger.
 Anxiety/nervousness.
 Rushing.
 Snap/quick decisions.

6. HOW TO BE PATIENT
STAYING CALM UNDER PRESSURE
1. First thing: Just stop. Catch the mind ranting that you shouldn't be in
this situation—because you are. Give up the fight. You've lost the battle,
but not the war.
2. Settle into the moment. You might feel your body ease down, yielding
to gravity (wise move). Your shoulders and belly relax, your jaw too.
3. Go into your body with your mind's eye and find out how you know
you're impatient. Are you tight, tense, breathing shallowly, clenching,
jiggling? Where exactly? Focus on those sensations as closely as you
can. Touch them with your mind.
4. See if you can open any tightness, breathe into any clenching. With a
really ornery knot, give up trying to fix it and see if you can welcome it,
make room for it.

8. FINALLY
 “Patience Is Not the Ability to Wait:
Patience is not the ability to wait. Patience is
to be calm no matter what happens,
constantly take action to turn it to positive
growth opportunities, and have faith to
believe that it will all work out in the end
while you are waiting.”
