Tolerance for ourselves and for others.

If one is more honest, he is aware of his good and bad points, and can accept and deal with his faults. What kind of person can best accomplish this?  One who has a deep personal connection within himself.  Sometimes we are more tolerant with others then with ourselves, because we can't cope with our own faults.  But if we have a secure place inside, we can handle a little difficulty.  Without it, the faults are too painful.

from the book, "Getting to know your soul" by the author of Bilvavi Miskan Evneh.


This is very helpful advice for working on step four.
