The 3 Reasons I Become Intolerant

July 03, 2020  •  4 Comments

As we finish up our 16th week of COVID life, the topic of intolerance came up. Surprised?

As I see it, there are three reasons why I become intolerant.

  1. Self-Reliance: I’m simply trying to do too much myself. And I’m not reaching out for the help I need, be it physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.

  2. Self-Righteousness: I think I know more and understand more than others about the ‘right way’ to do things, and the ‘right way’ to conduct oneself in the world.

  3. Self-Awakening: My heart is speaking to me in the form of unrest. My intolerance is my High Power’s way of pulling me towards something that needs changing. 

I’m not going to be useful to anyone if I’m overburdened. I’m also not going to be productive if I enter into an exchange thinking that I’m better than another person. And if I want anything to change, large or small, it’s best to work on those first two things before barreling onto the third.

Pretty sure I was complicating the bejesus out of this for a long time. All fixed.

Julie, I love receiving your comments! Thank you.

William, yes bejesus IS a word.
I have lots of made-up words Bill: Pleasies, Whoogle, there are more, I just can't think of them now.

Dan, funny you should bring up the dishwasher...
That silly little box has provided me with a multitude of learning and growth opportunities and I'm STILL learning.
Friggin' dishwasher.

I hear you, but as they say "If you want it done right, do it yourself."
Mell I want it done right...so now what? (Mind you I'm mostly thinking of loading the dishwasher...ugh)
Love you!
