"Success is blocked by concentrating on it and planning for it... Success is shy - it won't come out while you're watching." ~ Tennessee Williams

 

We can't meet someone where they haven't met themselves.
We may want to but wanting doesn't make it so.
Everyone is on their own unique journey.
You can't push them to catch up with you.
It just doesn't work like that.
If they try, something will get broken or lost along the way.
And they will actually end up further away from you than before. Better to honor their steps, just like you want others to honor yours.
If you can't meet at the same place, bow to them and walk on.
Do not guilt or shame them for being where they are.
Respect it.
It's their path to walk.

~Jeff Brown
