Other people’s dramas

Other people’s dramas are so seductive. The more we love someone, the easier it is to become embroiled. You may think, “I can’t let go.” Yes, you can. If you can’t detach in love, just detach. Let love come later.

Application: Whenever we can ‘t stop talking or thinking about someone else, it’s time to detach. If we feel like someone else is making us crazy and we can figure out how to help them, it’s time to help ourselves.
