Through my own journey, I have defined this philosophy as learning how to limit the power and response I have to another person’s feelings, emotions, and behaviors. I recognize that they are on their own journey, and I try not to attach my emotion to theirs. Instead, I learn to observe my actions and others’ actions as a third party. What is my 100 percent responsibility, and what is theirs? What can I accept in my life, and what will I decide to not accept? Where do I choose to set boundaries and release myself from the chains of guilt when I don’t do what someone else wants me to?
