    Tolerance, the idea of contentment, is a precursor for action. If we are content with whatever is in front of us and have zero emotional reaction - whether attachment or disgust - we can always move forward. Tolerance gives us the ability to fortify. It means that we can literally take anything coming our way and be UN-phased. We can accept and then proceed on the path with no mental hopscotch or psychological drama. Want to be free of likes, dislikes and all the mental gymnastics that keep us tied up in our minds? Tolerance is the key.
