Tolerance



My goal to create a peaceful place within myself is going pretty well. I am also learning many new coping skills . This blog is a written record of what I have learned so far.

Today I was put in a couple of situations that could have caused arguments. Instead of fighting I chose to walk away. It wasn't easy but it I did it anyway. Yay !!!! for me :-))

Confrontations and arguments are like hiking up a steep hill with your backpack full of rocks. You will get to the top eventually, but you will not enjoy the journey.

Showing others tolerance and compassion make your burden light. No need for a back pack at all. A sturdy walking stick , a bottle of water and a camera are all you need take along.

Without that backbreaking load to carry that hike is not a punishment it's a wonderful adventure. The rocks ?? or The camera ?? You can't have both ....The decision is in your hands.
