TOLERANCE:

~

Practice tolerance.

Tolerate our quirks, our feelings, our reactions, our peculiarities,
our humanness. Tolerate our ups and downs, our resistance to
change, our struggling and sometimes awkward nature.

Tolerate our fears, our mistakes, our natural tendency to duck
from problems and pain. Tolerate our hesitancy to get close,
expose ourselves, be vulnerable.

Tolerate our need to occasionally feel superior, to sometimes feel
ashamed, and to occasionally share love as an equal. Tolerate the
way we progress – a few steps forward, and a couple back.

Tolerate our instinctive desire to control and how we reluctantly
learn to practice detachment. Tolerate the way we say we want
love, and then sometimes push others away. Tolerate our tendency
to get obsessive, forget to trust God, and occasionally get stuck.

Some things we do not tolerate. Do not tolerate abusive or
destructive behaviors toward others or ourselves.

Practice healthy, loving tolerance of ourselves, said one man. When
we do, we’ll learn tolerance for others then, take it one step further.
Learn that all the humanness we’re tolerating is what makes
ourselves and others beautiful.
