A very freeing quote in my life came from my dad. Since it’s Fathers Day, I think it’s an appropriate day for me to quote him. The reason this is such a personal quote for me is because it helped me release a lot of things that I was holding onto.
He said, “One of the ways to find inner peace is accepting people the way they are, not the way you want them to be.”
Wow! Really? That is a powerful statement. When dealing with toxic people, we often spend half of our time wishing they were different, hoping they would change, and wishing and waiting for things to get better. News flash! You are wasting your wishes.
The programming and the manipulation that is present in a toxic environment is sadly very intentional. Toxic people want us to question ourselves on everything.
When we question ourselves, they feel better, they feel stronger, they feel more put together, and lastly, and most importantly, they feel more in control.
The more out of control they can make you feel, the more in control they feel.
