Yesterday I realized something. Passion makes compromise hard. It can make you selfish if you let it. And it’s difficult to relinquish something that matters so someone else can have their thing. But doing that feels better than holding on.
It all matters. And sometimes something is going to have to give. It’s just the nature of the beast. So if you can realize this before you start getting upset about losing out on something you can avoid a lot of pain. And actually create some joy for someone else.
What matters is showing up for the people you love. Stepping back and letting them shine. Taking the sidelines while they grow. And they will most certainly return the favor.
