Let Them

The people you worry will not like a decision that you want to make…

The ones who left you out of the last social event..

Those who are judgmental about something you chose for yourself previously..

Friends or family who you feel have betrayed you..

LET THEM think and believe and behave however it is that they want to. JUST LET IT BE.

You have the power and the permission and the control to just let it go.

People will never behave how we would or how we believe that they should. They aren’t supposed to, really. We are all born with something called FREE WILL (the same gift that gives you the power to release this).

It’s OKAY for someone to have a negative opinion of you. They do not walk in your shoes or live your life. It’s OKAY for them not to understand. We have this intense desire to make everyone see our perspective and tie ourselves up in knots trying to make them get it – or feel devastated when they don’t. But, SO WHAT?

I know that sounds extreme to some people, but truly – what would happen if you chose not to make it mean anything about you? Because it doesn’t. Another person’s reality is theirs to own, and you have yours.

Once we decide this, decisions get a little easier. What is it that YOU want to do with your life? If your struggle is a focus on what someone has done to you – decide that it has happened and you are moving on. That you have better things to do with your brain power than to relive it, or to ask why. IT DOESN’T MATTER.

Sitting here at the midpoint of your life, think about the time that you’ve already wasted in worry over something like this and where else that energy could have been focused.

Our brains ruminate on these things because instinct says we need our ‘group’ – that we MUST be accepted in a community for basic survival.

The fact is that there are a million ‘groups’ and we don’t HAVE to be accepted by anyone.

We are just fine. In fact, we are all ABSOLTUELY AMAZING creatures (capable of fantastic things) JUST THE WAY WE ARE.
