I’m continuing to read this book called “The let them theory” by Mel Robbins. This book is about learning to stop trying to control other people’s opinions, behaviors, or reactions. The book teaches that when someone judges you, disagrees with you, or makes choices you don’t like, you should simply “let them,” freeing yourself from unnecessary stress and focusing on your own actions, growth, and happiness. The idea is that letting others be who they are gives you more peace and confidence.
The reason I started reading this book is because I was stuck on past events and a decision that I made that made me feel that t changed the course of my life in a direction that I did not desire. These events and people we’re taking over my happiness and I decided to start living in the future and just “let them”
“The only person you are in control of is you.”
This is an earlier quote in the book but I keep referencing to it because it is relevant in the whole book and also reminds me of what I’m trying to instill and make a habit of in my mind.The meaning behind this quote is that people often waste energy trying to control what others think, say, or do, which only creates stress and frustration. The message of the quote and the book is that real peace and confidence come from focusing on what you can control: your own actions, choices, and mindset.
