I WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTROL OTHER’S CHOICES. I WILL CONTROL MY OWN PARTICIPATION WITHIN THESE CHOICES!

WOW! I AM NO LONGER REPSONSIBLE FOR OTHERS……JUST MYSELF!

How “freeing” that decision is!

HAVING SAID THAT: WHY CONTINUE TO WRITE A BLOG OR TWITTER MESSAGES? WHY OFFER ADVICE? WHY WRITE BOOKS? WHY COMMUNICATE ANYMORE? JUST LET IS ALL HAPPEN! LOOK OUT FOR YOURSELF! YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR! LET THE OTHERS MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS……..THEN LIVE WITH THEM! THAT’S WHAT I HAVE TO DO! THEIR CHOICE, THEIR LIFE……..HAVE AT IT!

OF COURSE THERE IS NO SIMPLE ANSWER HERE! SO I ASK YOU WHO ARE READING THIS BLOG POST, WHAT DO YOU THINK? IF WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ENABLERS, THEN WHAT ARE WE TO DO?

HOW ABOUT WE ALL JUST HELP THOSE WHO WILL AND ARE HELPING THEMSELVES………..AND LET THOSE WHO ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP THEMSELVES “JUST WALLER IN IT”!

PARENTS, FRIENDS, PREACHERS,TEACHERS, HUSBANDS, WIVES, AND ON AND ON AND ON………….WANT TO GIVE GOOD ADVICE TO THOSE THEY LOVE TO “SAVE THEM” FROM MAKING BAD CHOICES! WHAT’S WRONG WITH THAT?! GIVING ADVICE AND EXPECTING AND/OR DEMANDING THAT YOUR ADVICE BE FOLLOWED TO THE LETTER IS OVER STEPPING YOUR RIGHT TO THE “FREEDOM OF CHOICE” OF OTHERS!

HOW ABOUT IF WE WRITE THOSE BOOKS, GIVE THAT ADVICE. YES, DO ALL THOSE THINGS TO GIVE OUR OPINIONS TO OTHERS OUT THERE AND THEN STEP BACK AND LET ALL OF THE OTHERS MAKE UP THEIR OWN MINDS AND MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICES. YES! LEAVE THEM ALONE!

NOW HERE IS THE GOOD PART: WHATEVER THEY CHOOSE, THEY MUST LIVE WITH IT, RIGHT OR WRONG, EASY OR TOUGH! AND  YOU  CAN MAKE  A CHOICE TO CONTROL YOUR OWN PARTICIPATION IN THOSE CHOICES.

WARNING!!!!!!!!  SOME PEOPLE WILL WALK RIGHT OUT OF YOUR LIFE! YOU MAY NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN (MAYBE YOUR CHILDREN?) MANY PEOPLE YOU THOUGHT WERE THERE WITH YOU FOR A LIFETIME MAY DISAPPEAR.

ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGHT, STRONG ENOUGH TO BE YOUR OWN PERSON AND LET OTHERS BE THEIRS?

IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY YOU’D BETTER BE!
