Don’t let anybody else run your life.
However, if you let somebody else into your life, expect that they’re going to want to help steer.
Let them.
We need others. We are not as strong one our own as we are with them. That is why we develop relationships and build communities.
Yet, sometimes, there can be a fine line between getting support and having someone else run your life. Be open to letting others assist you. Listen to their ideas. However, if it doesn’t feel right, remember no one knows what’s best for you as well as you do.
