This is the part where we get to let everyone do something really radical: be an adult. It’s not your responsibility to change them or get them to tell the truth. Repeat after me: Not. Your. Responsibility. Be an adult. (And let them choose whether or not to act like an adult, too).

Stories are those beliefs that we assume as fact--that the world is or isn’t this way, or that so-and-so really meant this when she said that...and everything is a Story. My new mantra around Stories is this: “Check it out, and let it go.”

You can’t force the release, you can only keep working on you and keep “giving it up to the part of yourself that is divine.” But when it happens? When that opening happens? It’s everything.

We've all got expectations. When I attach to my expectations--when I am attached to a specific result and get all spun out when people/circumstances outside my control don't adhere to those expectations--then I’m setting myself up to suffer. So, do you have expectations?
