Tolerable

“You pack .. You un - pack , you create tolerable relationships, then you hope that it won't get dull, boring , meaningless... It happens again ... And again ... And one day it doesn't happen again.”

A friend of mine called Carol wrote this and it got me thinking about the place called “tolerable”.

There is this place called “tolerable” that seems to hold people captive. Wasting away, never risking, never growing, they just remain in this place. Tolerable is safe, neat, unchanging.  Tolerable simply means not the best; it might be close but not the best. I think the only reasons why people stay there is fear and laziness; fear of failure, shame, the unknown and laziness to do the work to change for the best. If there are any of us stuck in this place may God give us the courage and direction to change it.
