The document discusses the importance of acceptance of others and giving them freedom. It argues that we should not judge others or try to control them, as everyone's journey is different. We should accept that others will make mistakes and deal with challenges in their own way. By giving others freedom without judgment, it allows them and ourselves to grow. The conclusion emphasizes adopting an attitude of supreme acceptance of others, as people have different characters and we cannot change them, but must avoid becoming victims.

3. FREEDOM AND ACCEPTANCE
Each of us, in life, walks on the special path that
the soul is destined to undertake. Our journeys
are very different and we progress at different
rates. The pitfalls and blessings we encounter
are unique, yet we are all learning and no one
form of knowledge is more important than any
other. Even so, when we observe others, it can
be easy to pass judgment on their decisions and
to assume their actions will correspond with
what we feel is right.

4. • But for every problem, there are a multitude
of solutions. Everyone makes mistakes and,
while watching others do so can be
frustrating, it is important that you accept
each person's unique way of doing things.
Giving others the freedom to act in the way
they feel are best without the fear of harsh
judgments honors the capacity for growth that
all people possess.

5. PRACTISE OF ACCEPTANCE
• It is helpful to practice accepting others as
they are. Never judge the decisions of others
based on the path you would have taken
because every person lives by different values
and experiences.
• Challenge is a universal concept, but we all
deal with difficulties in our own way. Give
others the space to fail, but don't harden your
heart against their experience.

6. • It isn't wise to try and fix people or control
situations. You may feel compelled to
intervene when difficulties arise, but it is
important only to offer guidance when asked
unless the person is involved in a truly
dangerous situation or cannot act for
themselves.
• Failure to choose the right path or to make
enlightened decisions is simply another step
on the journey. It is a means to experience
and wisdom.

7. LEARNING TO GIVE FREEDOM TO
OTHERS
• Letting go of the need to influence others does not
discount offering loving support and it does not mean
that you need to stop caring. It does mean stepping
back, dissolving judgment, and gracefully allowing
others! to live their own destinies.
• Giving others the freedom to blossom in their own
journeys gives you the freedom to take more notice of
your own. You may not condone the actions you see
taking place, but your reactions will be more loving by
letting them be. And you will be able to focus on just
being yourself, confident that the path you take is as
right, valid, and special as any other.

8. SELF CARE AND FREEDOM
• Self-care takes on a different dimension when we create freedom to be
who we really are. Rather than do what we “should” do, we can begin to
focus on what we uniquely need in our lives.
• As parents who care deeply about being fully present and engaged with
children, I often hear self-judgment when a parent has a desire to be away
or to stop playing with a child.
• You may have done the same thing I have and said to yourself, “I chose to
be a parent, I should be okay with playing with pokemon figures all day!”
• When we fight against (or judge) our needs and emotions in the moment
we invalidate who we are. We are doing the same things that were done
to us as children.
• The admonitions to “stop crying,” “stop being so shy,” or “stop being so
loud,” turn into all the “shoulds” or “shouldn’ts” we tell ourselves as
parents.
• There is some reality that we may not get our needs met immediately
when we are engaged parents.

9. SELF ACCEPTANCE: FREEDOM OF
FEARLESS EXPRESSION
• When a person acts with complete confidence, even
for insane purposes, it fills a void in us. Charismatic
individuals make their followers do insane things by
the force of their personalities. It proves the point that
the force of a person’s will, of his self acceptance, can
be so strong that he can change the view of the
masses. He can convince people that what he is doing
or saying is beautiful. People become fully accepting in
his presence, falling prey to his complete self-acceptance!
Later on, they might wonder how they
could have fallen under that spell. Self acceptance is
very attractive. The one who is most congruent will
control the situation. If your frame is strong enough,
you can get away with anything. Self acceptance gives
you the freedom for fearless expression.

10. EMOTIONAL ACCEPTANCE: FREEDOM
TO BE HAPPY
• When life throws us in a turmoil, our first tendency is
to look for external reasons. When someone we relate
with behaves in a way that is not expected we try to
find external reasons for their behavior and sometimes
outright blame them. We feel let down by life and
people around us when things don’t go “our way” or
“the way we think they are supposed to be”. To blame
is futile and this emotional state is not only frustrating
but also totally dis-empowering for us. In this state we
can not create the magical life we want for us and
others. Hence the first order of business when we feel
hurt is to learn the practice and feeling of
“Acceptance”.

13. CONCLUSION
• The most effective attitude to adopt is one of supreme
acceptance. The world is full of people with different
characters and temperaments. We all have a dark side,
a tendency to manipulate, and aggressive desires. The
most dangerous types are those who repress their
desires or deny the existence of them, often acting
them out in the most underhanded ways. Some people
have dark qualities that are especially pronounced. You
cannot change such people at their core, but must
merely avoid becoming their victim. You are an
observer of the human comedy, and by being as
tolerant as possible, you gain a much greater ability to
understand people and to influence their behavior
