Today we are asking ourselves the question: what are you tolerating?

I've always thought of the word tolerant as a positive thing.

It's associated with being adaptable and agreeable.

But is being tolerant different to putting up with something?

Is it different to making do with things?

Let’s stop putting up with things. Let’s stop making do. Let’s stop tolerating.

Join me today as we discuss how to be happy with the standards we’re creating.

Here are the highlights:
