Detachment with Love

Book Oracle:

“a man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way’ – Mark Twain

There is someone in my life who is going down a road with their choices that seems likely to lead to a lot of pain. Today I woke up and realized there is nothing I can do about that. I have been trying so hard to get them to see it my way that I am exhausted.  

 I convinced myself today to let go and let them fall. I just don’t have the energy to keep focusing on their issue, and it’s not healthy for me to do so. Tonight I feel tired but peaceful, and grateful for Mark Twain’s wisdom. I know that they will learn exactly what is best for them. As for me, I can love them by staying out of their business and keeping my heart open.
