Relax, you’re not that powerful!
\nYou’re not responsible for another person’s success or failure.
\nTheir drinking or debauchery.
\nYou’re simply not that powerful.<\/p>\n

You do not dictate to their exclusive<\/em> input and absolute<\/em> obedience.
\nThey also have their own ideas, opinions and interpretation of life.
\nAnd plenty of other inputs. Plenty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They also choose their actions.
\nSome even choose to blame you, …for their<\/em> actions!
\nYour input forms a part of their total, true.
\nAnd<\/strong> their input forms a part of your total.
\nSo how much do you blame them?
\nWhy not!
\nBecause they are not that powerful over you.
\nOr do you give them that power, blame them and choose to continue that way.
\nTo do that you’d have to forget you<\/strong> gave them the power in the first place.
\n(And you have to ignore all the other input <\/em>you<\/em><\/strong> get!)<\/em> <\/p>\n

Next time you feel guilty regarding friends \/family remember, you’re not the only input.
