I totally agree. Trying to make everyone else see your point of view is one of the biggest pitfalls we could fall in to. I have experienced that if We let go and live our life we will travel further. Moreover, when they see the change in us they are more likely to ask us what we are doing. They are more likely to listen to us when they see the progress we have made and when we are not trying to force our opinion upon them. Definitely letting go is the way to go.
