Lean in

We gather people into our lives for a reason. When we realize this we understand that it is a reason to learn and grow from each other.  To grow longitudes. To learn things about others that in turn teach us about ourselves. I note this because some people don't realize this yet. They aren't in a open state to receive love, clarity, and truth. When you get to that state and let your defensive crane like emotional stance down, you stay and take accountability for your own life and challenges and opportunities. You don't go. You don't point fingers. You don't curse others. You highlight your role in your life and what that has hidden underneath it and you explore it. At times alone. And other times with the people who care the most about you. Either way, you don't run.  It's true, the things that bother us about others remind us about something inside of our selves. So why run from those others? Stay and connect the two. Figure out how to grow from each other being present.  Lean in.
