28 Nov Let them
If or when others do what you believe to be wrong or toxic … let them.
If or when others in the world make decisions with which you don’t agree … let them.
If or when others fail to love or respect you … let them.
If or when others treat you in ways you find harmful or upsetting … let them.
There’s little to nothing to be achieved trying to control that which is beyond your control, trying to win arguments within which you have no say … so let them.
Let them do what they do and be who they are BUT KNOW ALSO that although you can’t control what they do, you can determine how you respond.
So while you let them be cruel or mean, while you let them do harm, to themselves or others, LET YOURSELF accept this and LET YOURSELF do what you know to be right.
Let yourself be you.
Let yourself love you.
Let yourself be kind and caring, loving and compassionate.
And finally, let yourself know, that you’re not alone. There are others out there who, maybe quietly, are also trying to allow themselves to be and to do good as well.
