Suggestions vs. Decisions

A hot yoga lesson on parenting, teaching, and letting go of other people’s decisions.

I was going to write this yesterday, but life got in the way, as it does.

During hot yoga, my instructor said something that’s been stuck in my head ever since: I can only make suggestions. You make the decisions. It hit me hard as a parent and a teacher. I can offer advice, but the choice isn’t mine. This can sometimes be frustrating, but it’s also freeing.

Here’s the link I mentioned in the video where I mention other quotes from my yoga class.
