Wishing you a beautiful holiday season and all the best in the coming year, Katherin! Your quote is a great reminder of how I transformed my life and am appreciating/enjoying the results!
And poignant given that the life he had been freed from was one of love and generosity, and the life he had been freed to live was one of miserly, unloved solitude.
I’ve never thought of it like that, but you’re right. Maybe if more parents used this approach, more children would be happier in the lives they’ve chosen 😉
One of my favorite Christmas movies but this line escaped me. If more people can adapt this mentality when dealing with others the world would be a better place.
I can only imagine Dr. D! If you were my real-life friend, I’d be calling you all the time lol just kidding…sort of 😉
But yes. This line is the best because (in the movie) it wasn’t said with malice. It was kind of like a complete understanding of who Scrooge had become and the fact that his lady friend knew she wouldn’t be a part of it…acceptance, along with surrender ❤
I love this. I had never really heard it before even though I’ve watched this movie over and over. And this is a great way to allow yourself to grow…thanks Mandy!

I absolutely love this quote from A Christmas Carol Dr. G. Both for the season + for a reason.
I have the fixer / rescuer archetype. Which can complicated “off the job.”
Everyone sees a “free psychologist” and I just want to be freeeeee to be me.
Over time I am learning that.. Surrender is the ultimate.. surrender🍃
And boy does this post help!
Dr. D 🙏💛⭐️
