The Importance of Tolerance

Tolerance is real. I used to think that I had a lot of capacity for stress. It's not that we can handle it. There's a big difference between capacity and having built a tolerance level like we might for alcohol. And the tolerance means that we need more to feel more. So by the time in my twenties, I was in the midst of a divorce. The biggest show work of his life with a huge rock band. He says he thought all that time he had built up this capacity for stress that he was some like, you know, monk. As opposed to I had become so dependent on it and needed so much more to feeling more.
