Every now and then, I think back on something a relative said a long time ago to me. She told me that I was years ahead of my time. My spiritual teacher, at that time, told her very sternly: no, you're years behind time.
It made me realize how we can get stuck in a rut or drag our feet about changes or ideas. We get comfortable and refuse to budge. That's when we learn to change but it may be the hard way because we didn't pay attention to the directions or flow given to help us evolve.
That's when I also realized that allowing doesn't mean putting up with. I allow a lot but I won't put up with someone holding me back if I can help it. If I can't move away, than I just may need to drag them along with me.
