“(Tolerance) is one of the most ineffective, unproductive, not-good-for-you emotions that you could ever foster and encourage. Because what it is: it is a looking right at something unwanted, feeling the guidance of being-off-track, and then the learning to accept it as a feeling that you are willing to endure. (...) Tolerance is not liking it, and just accepting it. (...) [And we would encourage Making Peace with What Is rather than resisting it.] But it´s certainly not good for you to look at something unwanted, and not do anything about adjusting your vibration.” PainToleranceTolerantSuck It UpBearing PainBearing BurdensBear ItGrin And Bear ItTolerate Toleration Tolerating Author:Abraham Hicks
