Let It Begin With Me

I led a workshop last week on Live and Let Live and presented the idea that you can use Let It Begin with Live and Let Live. But I don't feel I was really able to flesh the idea out until today.
So here it is.
Sometimes we realize when other people aren't letting us live. We can feel them trying to control our lives, and if you're like me, you resist and get very resentful. However, we often (ok, I often) attempt to do this to other people, especially if they've tried to do it to me. In this case, I can let it begin with me. I can let them live their life the way they see fit.
In the same vane, no one can live my life for me. I have to let it begin with me. Only I can live my life.
