Tolerance is bouncing back even when you are thrown against a very hard wall. It comes from sensing that everything is a riddle and that all things work in cycles, that what is uncomfortable now will soon change. Someone who is tolerant can be put in the pocket of any situation, can introduce an element of fun and humour. The humour of tolerance comes from complete optimism.

Attentiveness vs Distraction
Attentiveness is an attitude of readiness to do what is true and right; giving a "hearing heart" to the people or projects that need our concentration.
The white-tailed deer constantly listens to what takes place around it. It has extremely acute hearing. Even while grazing, it remains attentive to its surroundings and is on the lookout for danger.
Attentiveness springs from obedient spirit-a prior commitment and desire.
Respectful and undivided attention is an utmost respect and honour.
Alertness vs Carelessness.
If we are not alert, we will be careless. Alertness can exercise our physical and spiritual senses to enhance our awareness and to recognize the dangers that diminish the resources entrusted to me. Beware and vigilant can define the concept of alertness.
The following resources entrusted to us must be protected: Time, health, purity, fellowship, our family and dearest friends, our good name.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
