Each one of us are on our own path. We all have a reason why we have chosen the path we are on and why we are taking it. Our journeys are very different from one to the next. The pitfalls and blessings we encounter are unique to our own lives and experiences. We are all learning from our experiences and no one form of knowledge is more important than any other. Each experience brings different knowledge and every person learns and develops in different ways.
When you observe others, it can be easy to pass judgment on others decisions and assume their actions will correspond the same with what you feel is right. But everyones actions don't reflect those of the next persons. We all have our own reasoning behind the actions we take and the decisions we make. It's important to accept each person's unique way of doing things and the reasons why they do so. Giving others the freedom to act in the way they feel are best for them on their own unique path without the harsh judgments is important in honoring their capacity for growth.
Never judge the decisions of others based on the path you would have taken. Every person lives by different values based on their own preference and experiences. Each person values different things on different levels as the next person. What is most important to you may not be as of the same importance to the next person.
We all deal with difficulties in our own way. We all have the capacity to forgive and move forward, or continue to fight and fall behind. Everyone, at some point in time, will or has failed at something. Everyone has had a point of weakness and defeat. But we all also have the capacity to stand up again in the darkness of weakness and defeat. Difficulties and failure may be inevitable, but everyone chooses their own way of dealing and their own strength that allows them to stand up again.
Everyone has to decide their own process of learning and growing. It's not always right to try and fix people or control certain situations. You cannot control what you did not decide. You cannot pull another individual off their chosen path. As angry and spiteful of emotions someone else's path may bring you, it simply isn't your journey and you simply have no control in that part of their destiny.
Choosing the right path and making decisions is another step towards growing, learning, experience and wisdom and each person is entitled to their own. This ultimately means stepping back, dissolving judgment, and gracefully allowing others to live their own destinies.
Giving others the freedom to blossom in their own journey gives you the freedom to take more notice of your own journey and it gives you the opportunity to pay more attention to your own life lessons. You may not condone the actions you see taking place and you may be quick to place judgements and retaliate, but your reactions will be more accepting and enlightening by letting it go and letting them be.
When you find your own ability to let others be as they are and to let things go, letting their journey and destiny unfold as it is meant to be, you will be able to focus more on being yourself and traveling your own journey and understand that the path you are on is right and valid for you, as others paths they are on are right and valid for them.
~Let it Be~
