If we want to change how others treat us, then we treat them with the same respect and love we wish for ourselves. When we try to control others we have lost our respect for them as an adult trying their best in their life. Note I said their life, for it is their life and not ours. We need to let them lead that life with respect, dignity and make their own choices. We may not agree with some of their choices but we have to respect that they have a right to make them. So for today ask yourself, are you trying to control someone in your life? If so, why? What do you gain by doing this? Isn’t it time to let go of your false assumption that you really these control people?
