10% of people are gonna love you no matter what you do. 10% of people are going to dislike you no matter what you do the other 80% are more or less indifferent and simply respond to pleasantness and convenience, or unpleasantness and inconvenience.

So you might as well get to know yourself, develop love and acceptance for yourself, and let your light shine.

Holidays can be more reflective of what you need and want than the holidays of the past. First, allow yourself to be aware of what you need and want. Time to begin discussing holiday plans with your loved ones. Let them tell you what they need and want.

Getting a rough plan early in the season saves everyone the stress of uncertainty. Also declining from a distance of weeks gives others a chance to create their own holiday vibe. And anticipating a more meaningful and authentic holiday is a joy for weeks!

Make friends with the voices inside your head. They are all parts of you. They are all trying to keep you safe, even if they don’t agree.

If you can’t name and describe your own character defects, you aren’t yet ready to correct them.

If you can’t name and describe your partner’s weaknesses, you might not be ready to create a happy relationship with them.

Own your stuff. If you don’t know what that is, a friend or therapist might be able to help you identify it. Then get busy growing while there’s still time.
