What’s the most profound piece of advice you’ve been given? Did you take it?
When I read this, what jumped into my head was something my daughter said to me many years ago, probably at least 10. Someone had mailed her a birthday card. This person made little effort to be in the kids life, their choice, and when the card was received in the mail I focused on how nice that was that you were thought of for a card to be mailed. The people pleaser in me, suggested a phone call to thank for the birthday card that was mailed.
My wee daughter looked at me and said, so let me get this straight, people don’t have to come see me or call me but I have to?
It was in that moment, she taught me a very valuable lesson, people will come in and out of our lives, many times without our own choice, and thats ok. However we do not need to self sabotage on ourselves giving out more energy to those who do not reciprocate. Duly noted my girl!
We sat down and she wrote a thank you letter. We mailed it and never heard if it was ever received, the odd time she still receives a mailed card and its her choice how, or if she responds to it <3
