Live and let live is good advice.

The more comfortable we are with the knowledge that each of us has a unique journey to make, a specific purpose to fulfill, the easier it is to let other people live their own lives. When family members are in trouble , it's terribly difficult to let them have their own journey. Because we love them, we feel compelled to help them. In reality, all we can do is pray for their safety and well-being. Their life is up to them and their Higher Power.

For some of us it's a leap of faith to believe there really is a Divine plan of which we are all a part. And perhaps it's not even necessary to believe. But we'll find the hours of every day gentler if we accept that a Higher Power is watching over all of us.

Being able to let others live and learn their own lessons is one of our lessons. The more we master it, the more peaceful we'll be.

I have enough to do just living my life today. I can let others do what they must.

Good advice HJ. I however think when a family member or friend
is in need of some sort I have try in whatever way I can to
help them. Does not always work and some that are very out
spoken have no problem telling me to but out.

I have encountered many difficulties in my 59 years which most
I will not air on CS as they are too personal. But by the
grace and love of my Spiritual Master I am still on this
earth. As He has grasped me and pulled me up from the pit I
thought I wanted to be in, then how can I deny trying to help
someone who may be going through the same or worse.
