ACCEPTING FAMILY and FRIENDS TO BE WHERE THEY ARE Despite are greatest love and intentions, we have to allow people to navigate their own journey their way. I know it can be hard when you see how amazing they are and how much more they should love themselves and do more for themselves and their life. You see them stuck, in addictions, or poverty, or bad relationships, and all you want to do is say come on, you are so much more than this, you deserve to treat yourself better than this and want more for yourself. But they cant, or they wont. This can be really painful. Relationships can be tense and resentments begin to form. As much as you care and love them so much, it is time to step back, let them live their life. This is their journey, and their learning and decisions to have and make. They arent ready or want to do it their way. Perhaps they never will see in themselves the light and the possibilities that you see for them, and you have to now accept that. It is time to focus on you and what you should be doing. Sometimes our preoccupation with wanting our friends and family to be be more and do more and care for themselves more, takes the focus off ourselves and what we should be doing. How are you being more? What is it that you need to be doing now? How do you need to take care of yourself more? I understand the fear. If you step up and move forward with your life, step into the next phase, you are sure to leave them behind. And you know what....maybe you are meant to. To move into what is waiting for you, you need to let go. This is your journey now. Maybe the separation from these loved ones will be permanent, maybe it will be temporary. But I assure you, it is time to let them go. You need to turn your attention onto yourself. Step forward. Love Rebecca-Lee
