The holidays are a time of family. This is when we hug, laugh, share and relish our time together. Or not. It can also be a time of depression and of difficulty.
Relationships in general, but especially familial ones, can be tricky and can cause heartburn.
There are surely people in your life, family or not, that you wish didn’t act the way they do. In other words, there are surely people in your life that you wish to change. In other words, there are surely people in your life that you judge. You judge them because they are different than you. They say the wrong things and do the wrong things, according to you. They blame you. They attack you (often through passive aggressiveness). They talk bad about you. And all of this makes you want to show the world that they are WRONG and you are RIGHT.
But why? Because you are not letting the world be as it will be; which will happen with or without your consent. Being “right” is about as subjective as you can get. There is an underlying arrogance to being “right”. Practice being kind over being right. Practice just allowing people to be whomever they are going to be. Affect positive change when and where you can and otherwise just let things be.
Be at ease with the parts of the world and the people in it that think and act in ways you believe to be unkind, uncalled for or lacking rationale.
Allow imperfection. It is only imperfection to you. In the eyes of the grand master organizer guy, everything is as it should be.
Love and Let
