Tolerance Line
The point past which you actually act — not what you say you will accept, but what you demonstrably do.
Your standards are not your stated preferences. They are the lowest treatment, income, or effort you have quietly agreed to live with. Life tends to settle exactly at that line, which is why raising it is one of the fastest structural changes available to anyone.
Also called: standards line · what you tolerate
