When we become fully responsible for our own peace of mind, we give the people in our lives the freedom to just be themselves.  It's our judgments that keep us feeling upset and resentful - not the people and circumstances that are in our path.  What if we let everyone else off the hook and take the challenge of being 100% responsible for our own peace of mind?  How differently would your life feel?  Let's discuss. www.GayAndSpiritual.com
