Melody Beattie said, “Set others free to achieve and experience the path that leads to their
highest good and you, too, will become free to find yours.” I think she’s right. When I try to control others and want them to be what I want them to be, I strip my life of color. I am miserable. I lose my own happiness, my own freedom, because I am trying to do what God Himself will not do….override someone else’s will. It is only when I allow others the freedom to be themselves and make the choices that they believe to be best for them that I am free to be myself and follow my own path freely. I can concentrate on God’s will for me today and not worry about what others think. The love of God can reach every part of my life, because I am open and not closing myself off with willfulness and unforgiveness. When I let God do what He wants in my life and in the lives of others, when I stop trying to control others and things I have no ability or business trying to control I find the color returns to my life and I am on the road to happy, joyous and free.
