it's not about you

"People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost."
~H. Jackson Browne


My sister Stacy used to say, "It's my world, I just allow you to live in it."

We all have our own little worlds. We all walk different paths. We all have different purposes in life. Our worlds revolve around people and things and events we each individually deem important to us. Although we interact with each other, other people's worlds don't revolve around us. They have basically nothing to do with us. What others do, how they act and react, how they live their lives and the paths they have chosen to walk have nothing to do with anyone but them and what's inside their core.

Don't confuse the two worlds ~ theirs and yours.

Be patient with others. Love them for simply being, not for being who they are or what they can be to you or do for you. Don't allow their actions to frustrate you. Don't take anything personal.

Share your world without expecting others to want to be in it. Enjoy the times that they do and accept the times that they don't. Respect their world. Honor their feelings. Accept what they are willing to give without negating what they aren't willing to be to you or do for you.

Always remember:

It's not about you.

Love the differences in other people's worlds around you ~
It's what makes this life exciting, fulfilling and wonderful!
