I had a great time seeing Mel Robbins live last night at the Fox Theatre. If you haven't read the Let Them theory book yet, I still highly recommend grabbing a copy. But if you really can't be persuaded to read or listen to the book, here is a basic breakdown of the theory (see attached photo of the "Let Them" and the "Let Me" graphic).
It really all boils down to letting go of control over other people. It also comes down to letting go of expectations of other people. Nobody owes you anything. It's up to YOU to change your life, your circumstances, your finances, your outlook on life. No one else can do it for you. And when you let go of that expectation, you are regaining the power and control of your own self-determination and self-empowerment. That is basically the "Let Them Theory" in a nutshell.
Go read it. (But if you don't want to, I will let you. 😉 )
