The decisions of your friends. Of colleagues. Of your family. Of acquaintances.

Don’t be judgmental. It’s their life. Let them do what they want with it. 

If they’re happy, who cares? That should matter most. 

Imagine someone telling you what you’re doing is a waste of time. That your decision making skills are pathetic. Your boyfriend or girlfriend is horrible for you. You shouldn’t start a business because you’re going to fail. 

Don’t judge people’s decisions. Let them do what they want. Of course there are some exceptions – doing heroin, drunk driving, killing someone. 

If our choices aren’t right, let us come to that conclusion ourselves. 

Worry about what you’re doing. It will all workout. Don’t gloat if our decisions go poorly. “I told you so!” Great. You were right. I fucked up. I get it. It doesn’t help. 

Be a positive support. Let them know you’ll be there for them if they ever need anything. Let them know you respect their decisions. You respect them. You can understand why they’re doing what they do. 

This comes back to being more open minded about situations. Maybe this will all work out and I have nothing to worry about? Who knows. Time will tell. Let it take its course. 

They’ll learn from their decisions. They’ll figure it out themselves. Whatever the result may be. Positive or negative. 

Either way, they’ll learn. That’s all you can hope for. 

“It is my goal to love everyone. I hate no one. Regardless of their race, religion, their proclivities, the desire of their heart and how they want to live their life and the decisions that they make. I can even respect people’s decisions and lifestyle choices just as I hope they have the courtesy to respect my decisions and my choices.” -Kirk Cameron
