It's a gift for us to be able to be there for someone else through their struggles. It can be a distraction from our own healing, which we simply need to be aware of. It can also help us through our own healing at the same time. Allow people to show up for you just as much as you show up for them!

So many people have all the thoughts about how and what we should do with our lives. Of course, then they also want to tell us these things too. Many are well meaning and some are not. It's ultimately our decision what we actually want to do with our lives. Don't ever let anyone else decide for you about your life!

Too many of us fight so hard to try to make relationships work that simply won't. Either because the other person is toxic or they have unhealed wounds. In both cases they fight against you rather than for the relationship. In these situations often all we can do is save ourselves. Don't lose yourself over a relationship!

It’s pretty simple to understand, but not as easy to deal with or actually embrace. The more we understand this, the easier it is to let more of their BS go. Even when they say it's our fault, it’s not. It’s just the way they are. Just because we understand it, still doesn’t make it easy. Go easy on yourself in the process.
