Embrace Your True Self: The Let Them Theory Explained

September 15th, 2025, is upon us already folks. It is clear to me the year is passing quickly and time waits on no one. I have learned that each day should be treated as important to each of us, for no matter how fast it flies by, we are always a speck or vision in someone else’s eye. You may not know you are being noticed, or seen, but, you are.

I can honestyly say, I miss my younger days, when I would run like the wind. when I would be outside day after day, going to friends homes, to fishing trips, to play neighborhood football or basketball at the park. I miss the days, of having fun and not caring, just have the act of always sharing. When your younger you have the energy, the ability to dance, run, jump and be. Yes, it’s true, you are not everyone’s cup of tea!

I am reading a book called The Let Them Theory, by Mel Robbins. The point is not the theory itself, but how you use it, in so many ways, if you do it correctly. She makes a good point, of telling us, you can’t change people’s opinions or what they will do. So Let them be. Let them judge ypou, Let Them think they are better than you. Just be you and carry-on, no sense fighting you see, it isa waste of energy.

The second half of it I think is vital to your outlook on who you are and can be. because like Mel Robbins says, Letting Them is half the story, the second part is Let Me. Let Me be me, Let me be free, Let me, do what makes me happy. What that engulfs when you put them together is one major factor we all tend to ignore as we go along. Stop trying or allowing, others to change who you are. Stop, letting others telling you what to do, or how far you can go! Stop letting others opinions or words or actions, get in your way of doing what is right for you and those you love. You can’t, let someone telling you something is wrong to do, if you know it is right for you. So, remember when you do things, it is not always for someone else you are doing it, It is for yourself, so, Let Me Be Me, is what I say. I have always said it in my life, I am me, whoselse can I be! That is vital to your individuality!

While Mel Robbins’ book is a decent Theory and interesting, if you read it, you may find it a little repetitive in what it is saying. Don’t let that stop you folks, I believe sheis repeating some of it in her writing for a reason, it’s called reenforcing it in your mind. It works, if you us eit like a mantra.

We tend to forget, we can not change what people want to think or do around us. We tend to forget at times we shouldn’t bend over backwards to please someone else constantly. When we do, we are changing who we are to please someone else. Shouldn”t be folks. Yes I agree not everyone will love or like you, and I agree life isn’t easy. But, you have to remember the old saying, Ya Can’t please everyone, so you have to please yourself! You can help others, you can advise others, but you can’t make anyone do a damn thing. So, just be you and be your best self, Let Them be them and Let me Be me.
