Everyone deserves the dignity of walking their own path – Daily Dose 37
Many years ago, now I read a book, The Empath’s Survival Guide by Judith Orloff. I found it to be life changing.
Whether or not you believe in empaths, the advice is sound. The most memorable thing I took from it was that quote, “Everyone deserves the dignity of walking their own path.”
What does that mean? It means if you know someone should make a better choice and they refuse… you let them.
It also means that you have to decide if you want to be stuck in their classroom, like we talked about last week.
My mom had a bunch of opinions that I didn’t agree with. She was living HER life. This is what we are all here to do. Not to convince each other to do things the way we think they should be done.
As a reformed people-pleaser I can tell you that you don’t get the time back. The time you spend worrying about someone, going out of your way to save them from themselves, cleaning up after their messes.
We want better for the people we love and it can be very difficult to come to terms with the fact that they don’t seem to want to.
Stop hurting yourself. That’s another phrase I tell myself when I’m bent up about someone else’s bad decision.
Get on your own path, leave them the dignity of walking theirs. Your soul will thank you. If you need support from growth-oriented people join my free On the Path community.
