If someone doesn't resonate with you, you don't need to fix their perspective. You don't need to get them on board. You don't need to prove yourself to anyone. Instead, what you do is you realize that that's their thing to deal with. You realize that you don't need it because you're giving that to the inner child part of you. So when you begin doing that, that's when your whole entire life will shift. So instead of playing in the choose me energy by searching for validation and approval, what you can begin doing is focusing on how you can choose yourself. And to choose yourself means that you tune to your own body. And what it means is you choose to be vulnerable. You choose to express the real you without attachment to outcome. And when you let go of outcome, you become free.
