Hey, this is Anne with your Coaching on the Go.

It’s up to us how we handle every situation.

We can’t control how other people respond, but we can certainly work to control how we interpret or internalize things that are going on around us.

There are always going to be things we can’t control.

So, here are some rules of thumb, some things that have helped me and continue to help me when I can’t control the situation, it’s not going the way I wished.

I have some loved ones that are estranged from me.

One is my own daughter.

One is a sister.

I love these two individuals unconditionally, meaning that I love them all the time, whether they are around me, they are doing what I want them to do, or whether things feel perfect.

I choose to acknowledge and think of the love I have for them and let that love be great enough that I can respect them without fully understanding that we are all on our course, we are all here learning and growing in our own way.

We are all on our own trajectory.

When I go there, where I have respect for that individual who is not in agreement with me, then I can see them like I see myself, on a path of learning, growing, and expanding, that is unique and full of purpose.

Then I can forgive, allow, and encourage them from afar, energetically, to continue on that path, even though I don’t understand it.

Then I flood myself with appreciation, and with the understanding I have been given a great gift of this life, and it’s my job, it’s my charge.

I’ve been tasked with how I live my life, and if I can’t be exactly where I wish with someone, perhaps this is an opportunity for my growth and learning.

What is here for me?

What’s being presented to me?

What do I want in this scenario?

I want a beautiful life.

That’s what I’m here for.

I’m creating a beautiful life.

If there is someone around me who doesn’t want to be around me, or they are exercising behaviors I don’t think are good for me to be around, then I’m going to accept that and stand in my power, acknowledge that, and, “It’s okay.”

We are all here on our path.

I show great appreciation for what I’ve been given in this life, in this opportunity.

Ultimately, I believe that it is my job to enjoy and appreciate my life.

My life.

ASo whatever is happening on the exterior, I can’t control that is not pleasant, I put it into a place where I don’t fully understand it.

I still send big love to the people who are not with me, and I send belief in their path, then say thank you for everything I can think of in my own life.

I keep myself open by sending love to them so if we meet again someday, I am not resentful.

I can see that they have been on a journey and they are back.

I hope this is helpful today.

Often the greatest pains are the things that we can’t take and fix.

There are some situations that remain open.

How we choose to handle those situations can give us a lot of daily pain, or allow us the freedom to continue moving about in our lives and maintaining our integrity.

Sending love, sending belief in someone else’s purpose, can allow us to just feel good that things are okay, things are working out, and all is well.

I love you and I’d love to hear about this from you.

I’d love to hear if this was helpful.
