Tolerance & Deep Breathing..

I was sat pondering last night, as you do - the usual kind of thoughts, is there anyway i can recode the MWIS stores to be more portable?, was Edwin Van De Sar really at fault for the own goal and well Good Karma and the Golden Mean - Fact or Fiction?...

Pondering all of this led to me thinking about tolerance in terms of people, substances and situations inline with a quote i have always liked as i think it defines true human spirit.

"It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, it is the one most respsonsive to change." - Charles Darwin

You maybe wondering what the link is considering i have always seen myself as someone quite responsive to change (quite an exhaustive life story already) well i had a purge over the weekend. Spring clean if you like out with the old and in with the new, sort of. Reason for the purge?, well there were a few things playing on my mind and well i couldnt 'tolerate' them no longer. Which made me wonder, how can i in future tolerate/handle matters better?.

Well tolerance in terms of a substance can be likened to alchol, the more you drink the more you can drink - hence you heighten your tolerance. If you drink less you tolerance decreases obviously leading to staggering home at 8pm in the evening.

So relating this to a person/situation, does throwing yourself into the situation and trying to sink not swim or battle your way through heighten your tolerance to the whole situation, not really it just gets more complicated and on the other side of the spectrum does bailing out completely lessen your tolerance - im not sure but the problem there is the next time you have to deal with said situation your still not going to be able to cope/be tolerant of the whole matter.

Did i find an answer, not really but to be more tolerant in future i decided the best course of action is always - deep breath and count to 5, as adding a little more tolerance to the matter could go along way in the future.
