I am at a point in my life were I am making some much needed changes so that I
can Live happy, joyous, free.

The longer I am on this journey the more I find out about myself and my character
defects. The only good thing about that is I have God's help in changing all these
things and I know that it will bring forth good results.

The reason for me writing this is because I have talked with so many people lately
who like myself have problems with tolerance, mostly of other people. So I have
spent a lot of time doing some soul searching to find out why that is.

The answer for me was that it was usually when a person said or did something
I didn't like or agree with. Thinking if they would have said it different or the way
I thought they should say it then I wouldn't be upset or agitated.

I  noticed how much time I  was spending stewing over different things that I could
change if I practiced tolerance for other people and their ways of thinking,
doing, and acting.

We are all unique and God loves You as much as He loves me, and when I started
trying to look at people like that and tell myself that my way may not be right for
the next person and just because we may not see things the same way doesn't
mean either one is wrong.

There is true Freedom in learning to have tolerance for your fellow man.
