Life isn’t easy. Relationships aren’t either. Too often I want others I know to think like I do and act like I do. Their differences often annoy me. Why is that? It’s because I can’t accept their uniqueness. I’ve come to realize I can’t change anyone. But I need to work on affirming that others have value, despite my not liking how they think or act. I need to learn to trust that others have my best interests at heart – otherwise, how can I improve that relationship? I even need to error on the side of trusting them too much – and that’s not easy.
