Decide who you want to be.

I just saw a post that said,
“When your kids get married, decide in advance that you’re going to be the most drama-free, loving, and supportive mother/father-in-law on the planet. You will have tremendous power to either make your kids’ marriages feel blessed or feel stressed.”

I love the idea that you can decide in advance to be drama-free.
Kudos!

But you do not have tremendous power to make someone else feel blessed or feel stressed.

You have INFLUENCE.
You have zero power.

You can’t anoint yourself with tremendous power.

Just decide who you want to be.

Then act accordingly.
