Leadership Thought #311 – Both Time and Relationships Are Finite
Love means accepting the other person for who they are and not trying to mold or change them into who you want them to be. As a family member or close friend, your job is to be there for them when they stumble and/or need encouragement and support. People are individuals and eventually must chart and follow their journey. Never knowingly make it too hard for someone close to you to be their authentic selves around you. Trying to persuade another adult to live as you do only breeds resistance and weakens the bond. Furthermore, unless their actions put themselves or others in danger, who are you to pass judgment?
