The Let Them Theory

by Mel Robbins

All human beings have a hardwired need for control.

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

You get one wild and precious life, so go live it in a way that makes you proud.

“hoping someone will change is what keeps you trapped in a relationship with someone who is emotionally immature or worse, emotionally abusive.”

I say this because whenever I do or say something I later regret, there is usually stress, alcohol, or hunger involved.

Here’s how you know it’s fixed. Is there anything you can do in the next 30 seconds to change this? If not, you’re never going to be able to change these things.
