Personally I feel like I try to listen and connect with people from an unbiased perspective. I am very open to people's unique traits, habits, and lifestyles. I carry the notion that not everyone has my exact thoughts, morals, views, or mind. Honestly, I wouldn't want them to. Life would never be interesting if we were all copies of each other, only aiming to please. It becomes difficult though when we become judgmental over another person's struggle, without seeing the struggle through their eyes. When we apply our morals, religion, and opinions on a situation we aren't involved in, it can be messy.
I find when this happens we say "well I believe...", and in most cases I am willing to hear that perspective as well. On occasion, I think what someone else believes can only be white noise, as they don't know my heart. When I am at a fork in the road, trying to make a better situation for myself and choose a path I don't want to hear about how I will fail because I'm not doing what someone else would do. I feel as long as I am doing it to better myself, give my kids my very best, and have positive intentions my choice shouldn't be shamed.
Letting go is not always giving up, sometimes it's accepting we aren't perfect beings and not everything can fall together like we think it should. We forget change is not an ugly thing, it's beautiful and should be welcomed. We should help eachother, accept, love, and try to understand. How can we connect with others if we are only trying to have them mirror ourselves?
