Protect your peace

 

Some people live in complete denial about how their actions affect others. They don’t reflect, don’t take responsibility, and see nothing wrong with how they treat you. To them, it’s normal… even when it’s hurtful. When someone is blind to their own flaws, no amount of talking, explaining, or heart-to-heart conversations will open their eyes.

At some point, you have to understand this truth:

Change is not something you force. It’s something a person chooses. You can love them. You can support them. You can guide them. But you cannot make them grow. And while you’re busy trying to fix someone who refuses to acknowledge their own behavior, you end up breaking yourself emotionally, mentally, and even spiritually.

Protect your peace. Stop trying to convince someone who isn’t ready to listen.
Stop handing out chances to someone who doesn’t even recognize what they’re doing wrong. Stop shrinking yourself to maintain a connection that’s costing you your happiness. Let people be who they choose to be, even if it hurts.
Because the moment you step back, you finally give yourself space to breathe, to heal, and to attract the people who understand you without needing explanations.
Sometimes the hardest lesson is accepting that you can’t change others, but you can change the way you respond, and that’s where your power is.
