You always have this choice. Your reactions and what you take on from others is always in your control, even if you feel like you are forced to take on things from others, there is always still some choice being made (may be unconscious). A choice that what they have said is valid and accurate for you. But once you realize this power and control you have you can better sort which external things needs to be taken on by you and what doesn’t need to. What can you let go of now or react differently to with this awareness?
