Tolerance

"When you are expecting people to be perfect, you can't like them for who they are" -Donald Miller 

You may not always agree with what people do and how they do it. This especially is the case when it comes to people you love; family, friends or a significant other. We must learn how to handle our emotions, feelings and actions ... which brings me to my point of tolerance. You have the high tolerance vs the low tolerance and im not talking about your liq count lol.

Let's start with the word tolerance itself. What is tolerance? Tolerance is defined as the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.

High Tolerance:

To have a high tolerance simply means you can take A LOT of what is thrown at you. Time and time again you are mistreated, misinterpreted, misunderstood, misjudged, taken for granted, etc, etc. But time and time again you are forgiving, you understand, you TOLERATE this behavior from people you CARE about... simply because you CARE! you LOVE them. Although it is good to have some kind of tolerance too much tolerance can lead to people taking you kindness for granted. 

Low Tolerance:

To have a low tolerance means you have a small to ZERO tolerance. People only have a few times to cross the line and once they do they have to stay there. You refuse to consistently put up with foolishness, that's something you will not tolerate and that goes for any and everybody. 

Now it's always good to have a balance. We are human, people will not always act according to how you want them to. There are certain behaviors and people you must learn to tolerate because its a ultimate a balance scheme. I guarantee there are some behaviors that people even tolerate from you so that is something that should also be taken into consideration. Its a give and take kinda thing.
