Thursday Chip----Tolerance/Intolerance

[Misty]

My tolerance is real high when I go to meetings and talk about whats up with me. I was told early on that
meeting makers make it and I find that to be true. Do you have tolerance or intolerance? Please let me know! Thanks!----Mistyeve

I just woke up. Maybe i am not understanding. Tolerance of telling what is up with you? I'm not understanding that at all.

Tolerance to me is when I allow something to happen without trying to want to change it. I am tolerant of people who cut in when I am speaking. I dont stop and say I AM TALKING. that woudl be intolerant. I am tolerant of people who do things differently than I do. If i tried to tell them my way was better, I would be intolerant. I am tolerant of an alkie who is not ready to change because I can let it go and not try to force the changes.

I'd like to understand how telling what is up with you is high tolerance. I'm very open to a new concept of it, jsut still sleepy today and not understanding.

Well I had to practice tolerance this evening, and didn't do a very good job of it. I am intolerant of people who are condescending, who say one thing and do another, and the only reason I could find any tolerance at all was that the person in question, doesn't have program.

There is no excuse for bad behavior. I had to leave a chat room and then go back rather than say something inappropriate. This same person got several e-mails of spiritual nature to redirect their path. LOL. This person's tolerance may not be so high when they open up their inbox this morning.

I try to be tolerant of others, I think that is when patience comes into play.

Dear Lin----When I go to meetings on a regular basis and talk about how I feel and any problems I am having in my life it makes is easy
for me to tolerate people.places,&
things. When I am able to dump the garbage I carry around inside me I am much more able to tolerate any thing that comes up in my life. I am just talking for myself. I don't know how it works for you but this is just an explanation of how
it works for me, Sincerly-Mistyeve


Dear Caressa---Some times leaving &
coming back is a real good thing to do. You don't have to apoligize for what ya DON'T say. Thanks for
stopping by!----Mistyeve


Dear John---Patience and Tolerance are like cousins in my opinion. They can work together or alone but
they are real similar. Thanks for
stopping by! Hope you are feeling
better----Mistyeve

thanks Misty. I understand what you mean now. For some reason I thought you meant you were tolerant of going to meetings and dumping what was happening to you. You actually ,mean...when you GO to meetings on a regular basis, you are more tolerant of things around you. Thanks. makes sense now that I am more wide awake and got an explanation. LOL
