Trying to control everything and everyone around you will only lead to frustration and heartache.

You cannot control anyone else but yourself. So why not just surrender control.

Figure out what you want to do in your life and get on with it.

Let others take on their own responsibilities, why deny them this experience?

You cannot please everyone so as the song goes just gotta please yourself.  

It’s okay to let others fail, this is part of your respect for them that says:

I know you can succeed, I know you can do this! Let them, they deserve your respect for trying, failing -maybe- but also succeeding all by themselves.
