Can You Accept People As They Are?

Go ahead and set your limits and respect them.

If you really love someone, accept them as they are.

From there make the decisions you need to make for yourself and let them make their own decisions.

Don’t pressure others to change for you. Let them change if and when they want to.

A lot of people struggle to accept others exactly as they are. 

Because how can you accept your partner when they’ve cheated on you? Your kid when they lied to you? Your mother when she made a rude comment about you in front of your boss? 

You accept them by doing your work. Leaning into your triggers and clearing your held emotions will create the space you need to stop trying to control their experience of life—and to decide who you are in relation to the cheating, lying, and rude comments. 

Doing your work allows you to love people more fully for who they are because you won’t need them to make you feel a certain way about yourself.
