Kindle Notes & Highlights
The reality is, no matter how hard you try or what you do, you cannot control other people. And yet, you live your life as if you can.
Trying to control people and situations doesn’t calm your fears. It amplifies them. Any psychologist will tell you, the more you try to control something you can’t, the more anxious and stressed out you become.
You always have power, no matter what is happening around you.
The Let Them Theory teaches you that helping others doesn’t mean solving their problems for them—it means giving them the space, support, and tools to do it themselves.
Why would you ever entrust something as precious as your confidence, your peace of mind, your happiness, and your dreams to the whims and moods of the people around you?
Nobody owes you anything, but you owe yourself everything.
