When we truly come to know—deep in our bones—that every person is on their own individual soul’s journey, we begin to know a new kind of freedom. We start to see that others’ choices and actions are not personal, but reflections of what they need for their growth and their healing on their own journey.
Yes, our choices ripple outward and affect others deeply, and others' choices impact us. But so often, what feels personal is simply a part of someone else’s unfolding. When we can gently untangle ourselves from the story that their path means something about our worth, our value, our mattering (these are not negotiable), we make space for peace, joy, and freedom to return to our beings.
