The pressure is off

"The world is less overwhelming, threatening, and unpredictable now.  The sun can shine brighter and the stars are close.  If I stop to smell the flowers and pet the dog and take notice of what is working in my life, I am less inclined to focus on someone else' stuff.  I have plenty of my own, and that is just fine....

"Life is not perfect, but it certainly holds more possibility.  The pressure is off when you are not longer driven to manage everybody and everything.  That alone makes life a whole lot more promising.

"I am not responsible for anyone else' perfection, and I don't have to be perfect, either.  Compared to where I have been, this is a state of grace." - Barbara Victoria in It's Not About You, Except When It Is

The pressure is off when we stop trying to make everyone conform to who we want them to be.  At times it is hard to do, but the internal rewards are greater for you and the other person.  They can learn from their mistakes on their own and you from yours.
