One of the biggest awakenings comes when you realize that not everyone changes in the same way or in the same direction. And then instead of wanting to change others or help them, you ACCEPT them exactly as they are and where they are so you can leave them there on their own journey.

It’s their journey, their choices, their homework, their responsibility, not yours!

You cannot change or repair them, they are neither toys nor broken. People change when they want to. And that should not be a reason to stop your journey!

We all change. Sometimes not in the same direction. Sometimes people change more slowly.. sometimes they never seem to change. Sometimes it takes them a long time to understand what they need to change in order to make it easier for themselves.

And it’s all ok! Don’t expect yourself from others! You can’t make people see what they simply don’t see at that moment. Or they don’t want to see! And they don’t want to see because they resist changes.

Everything we resist grows.. and becomes stronger in us.

Therefore, sometimes it will seem to you that they stubbornly continue to live repeating the same things that do not bring good to them and then not to others.

And you can’t do anything there. Other than to accept it and continue YOUR journey. Without them.

Because your growth should not stop, nor should it be conditioned by others, especially those who do not change, do not grow, do not evolve.

stop your journey!

It’s up to you to recognize situations and see when you need to be patient and when you’re simply wasting your time.

Just don’t force anything or anyone. Don’t force anyone to follow your steps.

Don’t try to fix others. They’re not toys!

You can only accept and love them. Sometimes that acceptance and love will mean parting, ending a relationship, marriage.

Understand that sometimes people don’t see what you’re able to see. Sometimes you can see their potential and you believe in them more than they do. And you can’t force them to see what they simply can’t see yet. That’s their homework.

You can accept them, encourage them, love them, be there for them.. but you can’t help them if they don’t want to be helped.

They shouldn’t stop your growth. Your journey is your responsibility and it shouldn’t depend on them.. in the same way their journey is their responsibility and it shouldn’t depend on you.

Focus on yourself, on how you feel and create your journey.. and let them do the same.

Remember that sometimes you can love someone as crazy as they love you, but that your paths diverge. They can love you like you’ve never been loved, but don’t keep going down the same path. Talk about everything and accept each other’s decisions. Don’t let the relationship become harmful.

Depending on when you’re reading this, I wish you either a beautiful day or a good night, you beautiful soul! 🙏💙

Irina

So, let me introduce myself. My name is Irina Vujaklija and I was born in Belgrade on 31 January 1979. Who am I? Love. I know, you will roll your eyes.. But that is how it is. Discovering my true self wasn’t an easy process. Constantly working on myself, learning by seeking answers to many questions, I have managed to overcome very complicated life situations. Among other things, my severe motorcycle accident in 2004. A life altering moment in just one second.
