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.
