“Some people will not hear you regardless of how much, how loudly, how truthfully, how lovingly, or how profoundly you speak. Wish them well and let them go.”
Isn’t that just so true? It’s one of those harsh realities that we all have to face at some point in our lives.
No matter how hard we try, no matter how much effort we put into communicating our thoughts and feelings, there will always be people who just don’t get it.
And you know what? That’s okay. It’s not a reflection on you or your ability to communicate.
It’s just a fact of life that some people are not ready to hear certain messages, or they’re not in a place where they can truly understand where you’re coming from.
But here’s the thing: you can’t force someone to listen or to understand. You can try your best to explain yourself, to be patient, to be kind, and to speak from the heart.
But at the end of the day, if they’re not receptive to what you’re saying, you have to accept that and move on.
It’s not easy, I know. Especially when it’s someone you care about deeply, or when the message you’re trying to convey is something that’s really important to you.
But sometimes, the healthiest thing you can do is to wish them well and let them go.
It doesn’t mean you have to cut them out of your life completely (unless, of course, the situation calls for that).
It just means that you have to let go of the expectation that they’ll understand or agree with you on this particular issue. You can still love them, still care for them, but you have to accept that there are some things they may never see eye-to-eye with you on.
And you know what? That’s okay, too.
We’re all on our own journeys, and we all have our own perspectives and experiences that shape the way we see the world.
The important thing is to stay true to yourself, to communicate with honesty and compassion, and to have the wisdom to know when it’s time to let go
Monica, you are amazing at what you do. Your messages are always so clear and timely! I have done this exact thing over the holidays. What I needed to do just came to me, without effort, consternation or fraught. It seemed natural. I feel liberated. I’ve learned much over the years though your teachings and guidance. I am a witness to my own growth in spiritual wellness and self-actualization.
I am so grateful, Thank you!
Dear Allison ~ Your message touches my heart. You are testimony of how much we can grow spiritually when we become observers of our own emotional patterns, and are dedicated to becoming self-aware. And it is a journey, of course. We keep practicing everyday because challenges abound, and every one of them brings along a new opportunity to keep evolving. I love your dedication.
