On the 11th Day of Christmas!

On the 11th Day of Christmas…

LOVE lets everyone else be…

One of the most profound things I learned from my own coach is the truth that EXPECTATIONS are just pre-meditated RESENTMENTS! Because we all are human and will let each other down sometimes. But WE have to feel the yuck of resentment inside of US when we have negative thoughts about others.

We want to have a relationship with the REAL person and not some version of them that only exists in our mind, right? We don’t want to miss out on who they REALLY are! That’s the God kind of love!

Truly loving another person requires us to let go of controlling them. Or really “trying to control” them, because the only person we can truly control is ourselves. God cannot control us, nor does He want to. And we cannot control others either, so we are only frustrating ourselves and them by trying.

Wanting to control always stems from FEAR. Because there is only ever two modes of operation, either FEAR or LOVE and God does not operate from FEAR ever. He IS love.

I believe the people God has placed in our lives, from our parents, siblings, spouses, children, relatives, co-workers, and friends are the CURRICULUM for our life!

So, are your children home for the holidays (or not) and not acting the way you wish they would? Let them be.

Are your in-laws staying over and you think you could only relax if they were somehow different? Let them be…

Nobody can take your peace away from you. Relax and settle into the God kind of LOVE. Ask Him to show you them from His eyes and let that LOVE wash over you!

Trust me, it’s truly what you want ~Be Blessed, Coach Jenny xoxo
