Grow and Develop

There are as many ways to live and grow as there are people. Our own
Ways are the only ways that should matter to us.
~Evelyn Mandel

*************************************************

Allowing others to grow and develop and have their own experiences Takes courage. It means accepting responsibility for our own ife and Not controlling someone else's life. It may mean letting go of Someone we want to share our path with, rather than force them to our
Way, if they aren't destined for the same life lessons as we are.

Our need to control generally results from our own insecurities about Ourselves. When we lack self esteem, we look for it in someone else's Devotion to us....and in time that required devotion squeezes the Life out of the relationship.

It all comes down to trust...trusting that each of us is developing At our own pace...in companionship with the people sharing the same Direction in life. Our own pace and direction are all we need to be Concerned about.
