I think one of the hardest things to do is watch someone you care about choose differently than you would.
You see a path they are taking, and maybe you believe there is a better way. You want to protect them from disappointment, frustration, or mistakes. That comes from a good place.
But at some point, we have to ask ourselves... is this really our decision to make?
Everyone has their own lessons to learn. Their own experiences that shape them. Their own moments where they discover what feels right and what doesn't.
Maybe the greatest gift we can give someone isn't trying to steer their direction, but simply being there as they find their way.
Offer encouragement. Share your thoughts when they are open to hearing them. But leave room for them to make their own choices.
And if they stumble? Be the person who helps them stand back up instead of the person who reminds them they should have listened.
The people we love don't always need us to clear the road ahead. Sometimes they just need to know we will walk beside them.
Can you give someone the freedom to find their own path while still letting them know you are there?
Take care and let them.
Love and blessings for a great day,
Marlene
