Do you ever find yourself stuck in situations where you love someone so much and yet struggle to make yourself understood? If yes, then you are reading just the right thing at the right moment.

Well, we all know that relationships are hard. But what’s even harder is the amount of endurance that one has to build in order to make any relationship work. Be it a bond between children and parents or couples or friends. Trust me! Being tolerant is not on everyone’s “daily to-do list”. Should it be? I feel it’s a continuous process.

Being tolerant of something is easy to preach but hard to practice. It’s definitely not one of those knacks that glamorise your resume. Rather, it reflects your attitude. We crossroads with patience almost a zillion times a day. From standing in queues at our favourite food joints to waiting for the signal to turn green. Patience never really stops testing “our patience”.

What’s important is to remember the 2 major W’s of our lives like “whom and what” are you being patient for? If you have a clear answer to all the “whoms and whats”, it doesn't matter how many times you’re misunderstood. You’ll find your way to make things alright. Obviously you’ll feel bad for a moment but somehow manage to convince yourself to forget everything else and focus on the bigger picture like I do. If you don’t see an answer, then it’s definitely the time to RETHINK.
