Tolerance

Lately there has been a lot of buzz about "tolerance" as a factor in stimulating the growth of creative economies. Tolerance is one of the three "T's" in Richard Florida's book, The Rise of the Creative Class. I agree that tolerance is a key factor in sparking our creativity.

Tolerance starts at home. What does that mean? It means we must first tolerate our own creative energy and instincts before we can tolerate others. Be committed to your own creativity and tapping it daily and it becomes a lot easier to accept those who are different than you are. Self-acceptance is a major step in accepting others.
