A Curious Observation: Notice and not feel the need to do Its hard isnt ... seeing someone out of place and struggling... The urge to help them... To make it right... Make it right for who? Them? OR you? There is a distinct difference between NEEDing to help people and WANTing to help people... I want to help you is 2 way...if you say no thank you then at least I offered... I need to help you is for our benefit...makes us feel better about ourselves...and we do this THING...we force the person into a situation that they MOST LIKELY feel uncomfortable with just so we can help them...to make us feel better... Not such a selfless deed after all hey :) Its a process...most likely a painful one of reflection and BRUTAL honesty with I ... ME ...inside... To get to the bottom of this NEED... but that need can turn to a very healthy want with honesty and courage... On the flip side...what if that persons struggle was part of their own process...something they need to get through to grow... Would you want to take that away from them? What if we just offerd them a Torch and Mirror to see into the blind spots and light the dark areas so they could make their own way back to where ever it is they would like to rest for a while... If they offered you a torch and mirror to see into your blind spots and light your dark areas...would you use them? Where would you explore first?... have you thought about making a list? What would your life be like if you could notice but not feel the need to do ... no judgement ... just flow ... Observe Curiously :)
