Release Yourself: Let Go and Let Them “Take Responsibility” for Their Own Lives Jaylen D. Bledsoe

👋🏽 Hey, it’s Jaylen. As I was preparing for a relaxing and peaceful ride on my Slingshot last night, I received a text in my driveway that had me utilizing that ride to write today’s conversation. I had a unique childhood as I became a teen millionaire by 16 years old. That type of “success” and mindset changes the role of a kid quickly, ultimately becoming a caretaker of some type to my caretakers, family, and friends. I know that millionaire or not, this is a reality for many people.

So today’s talk is about the perspective shift we need to take as a fixer, or else we begin to limit the ability to accomplish the call and purpose of our individual lives. I should be as clear in the description as I am in the video. There’s also the opportunity to support someone in fixing one problem, maybe twice, but if that problem happens a 3 or 15th time, they’re doing it to themselves. And if we continue to “fix” what they’re doing to themselves, we give them the comfort to repeat those actions because they know we’ll be there to save the day. I hope this video speaks to the needs of someone who needs to feel the release of responsibility of fixing and providing for people who’re unable to receive what they have. I believe there’s something in this, no matter the amount of money, time, or relationship status (single, dating, married, divorced). There's someone in our lives we're allowing never to take accountability or responsibility as we come to the rescue unconditionally.
