What You Tolerate Reveals Your Identity

You do not get what you want. You do not get what you work for. You get what you believe you deserve. Your tolerations are the proof.

Every single thing you are tolerating is a direct readout of your identity program — specifically, what your subconscious believes you are worth and what it believes is available to you.
