How high is your level of tolerance?

The higher your tolerance, the more content you will be with life and with your inner self. Plus, with an elevated level of tolerance you will cause those around you to be more content and far more tolerant of you.

We all conduct ourselves a little differently and we all tolerate those differences at varying levels. Nevertheless, those whose levels of tolerance exceed the norm tend to be happier and more successful in all walks of life. Going through life without tolerance is like an engine running without oil. Eventually the friction causes a meltdown and soon thereafter there is nothing useful left.

Tolerate and you will be tolerated; but lose your tolerance and the little things will become like nails on the chalkboard of life.
