Let It Be
/Lyrics from a Beatles' song have been floating through my head: Let it be. Let it be. Let it be. Let it be. There will be an answer. Let it be.
So much of my life has been devoted to trying to fix things that weren't the way I thought they should be. This innate, strong tendency makes me look around for something to improve. Isn't that, after all, how progress gets made?
Yet I've learned that when I exert force, resistance is the inevitable result. I may prevail, but only after much exertion and maybe even exhaustion.
This principle is especially true in relationships. Let it be. Give people the freedom and respect to learn what they need to learn when they need to learn it.
Let it be.
You write it: What do you need to let be?
