The Dreamer
Don Juan
If there is one quality that is absolutely essential and yet so underestimated it is Patience.
You can’t be a true man if you don’t possess this one quality, trust me. I always was a very eager, impatient guy. In sports I always wanted to sense instant effects and improvement and always gave up when I saw that the process was long and required time.
This lack of Patience also led me to lose a girl I really did like.
I was trying to reconquer her and I knew she was into me by a common friend of ours, but I made the huge mistake to come in too strong, like I wanted us to date in the minute and the only thing this led to was me scaring her off and she making an evident excuse to go. It took really a long time to recover. And I could have had her when I wanted if only I gave her and myself some time and space, and reasonably slowly building something that could have been really great.
Things take some time to build up, and finding the right pace to escalate them is essential. Patience proves that you are someone that has got things going on his life, that you are not desperate and eager to have a girlfriend and that you’re a strong and persistant man.
The thing that really made me learn how to be Patient was the training I did for NYC Marathon. It took me about one year, it was hard and painful at first and I didn’t see improvements come too quickly, but as I really wanted to do this I persisted and ran the whole 26 miles what I thought impossible a year before. It taught me some of the most important things like courage, patience, self-discipline and of course it is also a great improvement for your health and obviously your looks
So live, and take the time to live !
