Tolerance: A characteristic to foster effective living

I just started to think the last few days with how my dad is managing things quite effectively. The take home point was, he has lots of tolerance. The gains I could see are he has more patience to sustain a hostile environment and can keep himself in pursuit of the objective he is on. When we all know that life is full of challenges, with a mix of pain and pleasure, happiness and sorrow “Tolerance” is one such positive mental attitude which can help you stay in balance.

Nevertheless there may be situations where we look ineffective at times but on a long run people do see you as a person with maturity and can always develop a soft corner for you. It’s not a technique however but a natural way of accommodating things in life and you don’t seem to be worried much about the painful things about life. As we all know we have things which can also cause pain in life and not just pleasure. The two brothers exist along side and we need to know how to strike a balance between them.

Now if someone is forcing on you to do something you don’t like you can always say it a bit polite but firmly. There is nothing harm in dealing like that. Once again it’s a sign of your tolerance limits and the situations in life always keep you checking on it. The more you can be tolerant the less will be your frustration. Whatever the amount of frustration you carry will again need that much of cooling time and all of this time adds no value to your life.

Let’s start making an attempt to improve on our tolerance. It not only helps you endure effective relationships but also can quickly rebuild a shattered one. If life is something about making good, making good from what is broken the lets cultivate our attitude to have this wonderful characteristic “Tolerance”.
