Are you a pickup artist? Bert Oliva shares examples of good and bad pickup lines.
Patience is a funny word. It is easy to tell someone to have patience, especially if you are the one making them wait, but it is a lot harder to actually practice it. I don’t know about you, but when people tell me “Have patience,” my initial reaction is always frustration. It is usually a split second subconscious reaction and then I’m able to get it under control with my rational mind, but for that split second, I’m truly irritated.
Why is it that we get frustrated when someone tells us to have patience? Perhaps it’s partially because of our instant gratification society and having everything at the tap of a cell phone screen. Don’t get me wrong. I love technology. In fact, I probably own just about every gizmo you can imagine. But sometimes I think that technology has caused us to become more disconnected and certainly less patient.
There’s something to be said about patience. There’s something to be said about waiting and taking our time to get the things we want. When we wait, we are able to truly mull over the positives and negatives about the thing or things we are waiting for. We are able to truly decide if we want it and if we will use it when we finally get it.
I don’t know about you, but I certainly have a few “impulse buys” that are sitting around collecting dust. But those items that I took the time to research and save up for, even those I bought years ago, I still use and cherish.
The same goes for decisions and commitments we make in our lives. For instance, if you decide you want to lose and weight and just say, “I’m going to lose 10 pounds this week,” there’s not a big chance you’re actually going to stick to it. And worse, you will even discourage yourself for the next time you want to try to lose weight. However, if you take the time to truly weigh the decision, envision what you want, and make a plan of how you’re going to achieve it, you are much more likely to stick with the decision and achieve your goals.
So, let’s stop making “impulse commitments” with ourselves. Instead, let’s have patience and make educated decisions and choices. There is absolute truth to the adage, “Slow and steady wins the race.” So, take your time. I know you will Make It Happen!

When you get up in the morning and look in the mirror, what do you see?
Do you see bags under your eyes? Lines around your lips? Extra weight in your cheeks?
Or do you see bright eyes? A crisp smile? Laughter in your cheeks?
You are beautiful. Yes, you. Just the way you are. You are an amazing human being with tremendous potential.
You have a gorgeous spirit that is aching to come out at full force and affect the world around you in ways you can not imagine possible.
You have talents that need honing. Thoughts that need sharing. Laughter that needs expressing.
You are absolutely, positively perfect, just the way you are.
Sure, you have improvements that you want to make on yourself. Some physical, some mental. Some work-related, some personal.
However, everything that you need to make those improvements is already within you.
You have all the answers that you are seeking. You simply have to start listening to yourself.
Get to know yourself. Love yourself. And share yourself.
You are greatest gift you can ever give to the world. You are amazing.
Live Life,
Bert Oliva
