“It’s our job to take care of our feelings and let other people take care of theirs. It’s okay to give to people – but don’t give to get people to like us. Give because we want to, when giving comes from our heart. Speak up for other people, but speak up for ourselves, too. Stick to your responsibilities and let other people take care of theirs.”
by Melody Beattie
We have so many different ways of relating to other people that we sometimes forget that the most important thing we can do is to be ourselves, to be in charge of our own lives, and to define healthy boundaries so that each of us can become empowered. As Melody Beattie says, ‘Stick to your responsibilities and let other people take care of theirs.’ By being empowered yourself, you assist others in finding their own empowerment, but it’s not your job to do it for them!
