Someone or something has disrupted your feeling world. It might have been blatant and swift, or it could have come on slowly enough for the source and cause to be immediately perceptible. The way someone is has dishonored your wellbeing. A circumstance has distracted from what you need to nourish your sense of Self. You might have focused your emotional discomfort onto someone else (it’s their fault), or held on to the hope that they or a situation will change in ways that are more aligned to your liking.
Tolerating requires resistance and lots of complaining
At the root you have said yes to what doesn’t align with your Soul, realized you really need to say no, but kept on yessing, excusing, seething, forgiving, numbing – tolerating. Before you can truly create space for the transformation of circumstances that drain your vitality and exuberance for Life you have to realize the reasons you settled into toleration.
What was more important than exercising your freedom
to choose what fills you, opens you, celebrates you, and fosters
your Divine contributions to our world?
As you experience the emotional discomfort of tolerating, you may play with the concept of forgiveness in ways that justify a dodging of your personal response-ability to create a Life that supports the Essence of who you are. A cloak of forgiveness, or finding peace within a situation that consistently disrupts your natural flow, will not resolve the suffering of tolerances.
Forgive Your Tolerances
The suffering of tolerances eventually gives way to a graceful acceptance – of others, of circumstances, and of ourselves.
Forgive yourself for not accepting the reality of other people, places and things. Forgive yourself for inviting into your sacred space whomever didn’t, or couldn’t, receive your love. Forgive yourself for struggling to forgive those who’ve imposed will on you. Forgive yourself for taking however long it took for you to remember your power, and your choices.
