Meaningful Conversations: PATIENCE 🧘🏻🏺

🔗 To join the whatsapp group for this series of events: WhatsApp Group

👋 Hey, discover how to master your emotional intelligence with a thought-provoking and friendly approach.
Join us for a modern-day version of an 18th-century salon. Engage in an evening of meaningful conversation without the usual small talk. A place to share personal stories and to learn from diverse ideas.

Each time we pick a topic and frame the discussion around a few related questions.

PATIENCE🧘🏽😌🪷

1. How would you define patience in your own words? Is it merely "waiting without frustration," or is there a deeper internal action or attitude involved in it?
2. Do you consider Patience more of a Virtue or of a Weakness?
3. What is the difference, for you, between patience and resignation or passivity? How do you know when you are being constructively patient versus when you are simply "letting go" of something you should be addressing?
4. In your life, in which area do you find it most difficult to be patient (with yourself, with others, or with processes and results)? Why do you think that is where your greatest challenge lies?
5. How do you believe patience (or the lack thereof) shapes the quality of your interpersonal relationships? Could you share an example of how patience has saved or improved an important interaction for you?
6. Beyond just waiting, patience often involves perseverance and sustained action. What daily practices or "small acts" help you actively cultivate patience, instead of merely reacting when it is tested?
7. In what ways do you believe patience contributes to your overall mental and emotional well-being? What is the "prize" or benefit you gain internally by being able to sustain waiting or effort with calmness?

Bring a jacket or sweater if it’s cold…
Hope to see many of you there, welcome!

💬 WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"A melting pot of inquiring minds sharing personal insights" – Catherine Flanagan, Lisbon | LQA premium member

"With forced distancing and confinement brought about by responses to COVID, the LQA meetings provide me with one of life's great joys... To meet with, share experiences, hear different perspectives from people of all walks of life, different generations, and different corners of the planet" – Scott Ruddell, Colorado | LQA premium member

“Since joining LQA I have had the opportunity to meet some fantastic people who have a wide range of knowledge and life experience. Of course, before participating I was under the impression that one must have read tones of books, possess a higher IQ or even a quiz master but frankly, those qualities are not the ethos for LQA. I personally learned that it’s about sharing, coming together with all sorts of knowledge and having a growth mindset to learn and hear other people’s perspectives. Overall, I would highly recommend joining LQA as it will broaden your horizons and it will enable you to share your world views on a larger scale with like-minded people.” – Shah Karim, London | LQA premium member
