Zap the toleration

Today is the start of the 4th of July weekend in the USA. Fabulous firework displays light up the skies in most towns around our home, despite the unseasonal rain that we have experienced this past week.

4th of July celebrates Independence day in the USA, when American citizens stopped tolerating the British. Essentially, they said "Enough is enough" and they zapped the toleration.

As you celebrate this weekend, take a few minutes to consider having your own personal Independence day. What is bothering you that is draining your energy? What are you tolerating in your office, on your desk, or you home that you want to repair or replace but haven't gotten to it yet?

I will purchase a new paper shredder over the weekend, and declare independence from the toleration. My current shredder squeaks and requires cajoling to do it's job. It is draining my energy now, and I will zap this toleration over the weekend.

If your desk is a mess, your home needs cleaning, or your workshop has tools on the floor, then this weekend gives you a little extra time to zap those tolerations. Go ahead and remove the things in your life that are draining your energy. Then enjoy the celebration of Independence day and the accompanying festivities.
