A Manual is that invisible rulebook we keep for how we expect people to behave. And when they don’t follow it… well, that’s when disappointment, frustration, or anger show up. 😐
“I did all the chores and he didn’t take out the trash, he must not care about me.”
“My neighbor didn’t return my call, she probably doesn’t want to be friends anymore.”
“My best friend hasn’t reached out in weeks, clearly she’s found new friends.”
“My husband never starts up a conversation. I’m the only one who makes an effort.”
Sound familiar? Here’s the thing: Manuals don’t serve you. They don’t make people act differently, and all they do is set you up for bad feelings and constant judgment.
What if you let go of the need for others to live up to your standards?
What if you simply accepted people as they are and stopped letting their behavior define your peace of mind? 💛
As Alexander Pope said, “To err is human; to forgive, divine.”
Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone is flawed. Learning to forgive yourself—and others—sets you free. 🦋
