What is talent?

Talent is a measure of what you can learn to tolerate. 

## In this episode

- Why talent is a measure of what you can learn to tolerate
- Your window of tolerance: what it is, and when and where to develop it
- The physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual sides of pain and suffering
- Staying open on race day, and why willingness comes before ability

In this one I talk about your window of tolerance. What that means. How and why. When and where you need to develop it.

Tolerance trumps talent, because talent doesn't leave the station without it.

All the forms of pain and suffering that we experience; physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual are teased out here. 

The bundle of discomfort that many of us unconsciously take into the field of dreams in each race also carries the potential to turn it into a nightmare. 

That’s the responsibility of your choice to stay open to what's happening. 

The power of your intention and attention converge into a matrix of power if you bring non-resistance and your willingness with you.

If you aren't willing, you aren't able.
