Love & Tolerance I was with a group of guys and one of them brought up that Love and tolerance toward others was our goal. I was struck once again with the toward others part and how often in my life the opportunity to exercise that comes up and I fall short. It’s so much easier to judge than to extend myself in so many other more positive ways. I could be actively loving and supportive more often. I could be more encouraging of the efforts of others whether it involves me or not. I could herald the successes of others more and show kindness when they fall. I could shut up when its none of my business. So often I hear statements made that are meant to belittle, harm or degrade. Sometimes, I hear them out of my own mouth. So, right now, I make a new years resolution in the middle of the year. Less judgement, more tolerance. If I can do that, it should make more room for me to be loving and tolerant towards those who would do me harm. Lie about me. Lie to me. Misrepresent me, while possibly never even having met me. I need to stop concerning myself with the negative, and just stick to my own side of the street. Who am I? What can I contribute? How can I help and not worry about those who would try to undermine me or my reputation? I’ll just be me and leave them to them. Love, E
