ACCEPT PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE

---

One of the hardest conquers in life is learning to accept people for who they are. Without question we expect people to follow our unwritten rules of belief. 

I have realized when someone doesn't react the way I want him or her to, it's not because of me. Its just that the person's beliefs don't align with mine. We as individual's have beliefs and standards that cultivate who we are.

People are human. They don’t have to live according to my expectations, or live by my beliefs.
They have their own set of rules, and none of them are any of my business. They don’t need to justify their standards of living, as long as they aren’t hurting other people.

No matter how much the people closest in your life,  you have to accept them for who they are don't let them add any levels of stress to your life. 
​
Sometimes it comes a point in your life when the people you love are not growing and are not align with your beliefs. You have to innately know whether to build or burn that bridge. No one else can decide for you.
