Tolerance is not just suffering in silence. It means going beyond any personal discomfort you may feel, and giving a gift to whoever you would tolerate. Give your time, attention, understanding, compassion, care - all are gifts, which paradoxically, you also receive in the process of giving. And, as you do, you will experience your own self-esteem and inner strength grows.
Today let me practice the real power of tolerance.
