WHAT IF EVERYONE IS JUST DOING THEIR BEST?⁣ ⁣

WHAT IF EVERYONE IS JUST DOING THEIR BEST?⁣ ⁣ I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. As navigating social media becomes less and less rewarding and more and more emotionally depleting, I find myself asking “what if everyone is just doing the best that they can, or the best they know how?” Let’s assume for a moment that they are... ⁣ ⁣ This assumption allows for more grace.⁣ It allows for more understanding and connection. After all, isn’t that what we are all truly after in this “like, click, comment,” culture that we live in? ⁣ ⁣ However, giving that extra grace also requires a lot of patience, paired with a healthy dose of boundaries. Grace + Patience + Healthy Boundaries = a recipe for accepting yourself and others as they are. What if instead of assuming the worst about other people, we practice assuming that they have good intentions and are doing their best? ⁣ ⁣ Some interactions will inevitably lead to a teachable moment - an opportunity to show someone else that while they may be well-intentioned and mean no harm, their actions aren’t lining up. It’s our responsibility to teach other people how to treat us by establishing clear and concise boundaries of what we will and will not accept for ourselves. ⁣ ⁣ Other interactions may make it necessary to guard your time and energy to avoid giving away too much of yourself. But by accepting that people are doing their best, it makes it easier to see the difference between self-preservation and being closed off, cold, and unkind. ⁣ ⁣ I’ve made it my mission to be bold, but kind, resolute, but flexible, and to give myself and others more grace. After all, I’m just doing the best that I can.
