While my basic motherly instinct is to fix everything and control others that are in "my bubble". At least that is what I refer to people who affect my life. I was for many years trying to correct or control the others around. I thought I was normal and had the right to do so. When my mother while on her mission sent me a statement from a prophet. It goes something like this......If you are trying to control another person and make them do or act a different way. We are taking away their free agency and that is Satan's plan." As I pondered this and practiced really really had not to be controlling. It worked to a certain degree. It took a lot of the guilt off of me and realized they needed to choose. Not always did they choose the way I would do but, it still was their choice.
Practice makes progress..........
