Geduldig wird man, wenn man auf etwas speziellen lange warten muss. Ich musste 10 Jahre auf meine Heilung von Epilepsie warten und bin dadurch geduldig geworden. Wichtig ist, immer ein Ziel vor Augen zu haben, das man erreichen möchte, ohne aufzugeben, wenn es nicht weitergeht. Sei unbedingt bei meinem Coaching dabei!
