Letting Go - Why letting others be as they are, can be the best gift, you give yourself
28 October 07 - 10:01
People surrounding us, make choices, we usually would not dream of doing. I am sure, you have been confronted or witnessed a family member dating an inappropriate person (so we think), or a friend is selling herself short, by settling for a job that is below her abilities.
You wish you could help, you are full of adivice, and ready to point towrad what you know would be the best for them.
Stop! Hold it, right there!
Controlling other people choices or even giving unsolicitated comments regarding their situations, is not only a bad idea, but a burden that you should not be putting upon yourself!
Keep the following two points in mind:
First: How does it feel when you are being told how you should choose? That was hard enough to take as a child and teenager. Do you really, honestly apprechiate unsolicitated advice. Did one ever really make you feel good, or at least better?
Second: There is only one person, who you can change and who you should give your undivided attention to - if you do not have children - YOU!
You deserve your attention, you deserve to reach your potential, you deserve to be focused on. Only when you are filled, truly can you take care of others, who choose to be taken care of or for by you ( again, I am not talking about relationship toward children, but adults)
So, let go, and give yourself the freedom of letting others make their own choices. Focus on yours, shine and maybe one day, those same people will come to you, asking, when it is the right time for them, how you have created such an abundant life. This is when you can go ahead, and give solicitated advice.
