Lesson 205: Who Can You Help Without Fear...
Today we are to think about the people in our lives. Are there those we help without fear? Are there those that we avoid helping? Are we just to be witnesses to people’s lives? Or are we actually meant to help? Each person has their own path but sometimes if we need help we need to ask and if others need help, they need to ask for it also.
I generally am a generous person with my time. I have time for a lot of people in my life. I like to give everyone a go. I generally help when I can. I think I can sometimes help too much until I am depleted of energy. What I have done these days is make boundaries so I’m not over doing it when it comes to helping others. It’s one thing I’ve learned that there is only ever so much of yourself that you can give – sometimes people take advantage of that. I think it’s very much taking a situation and assessing it before you go to help.
Most of my friends are in a good place. I’d like to think that they would ask for help when they need it. I can only think of a couple of friends that REALLY need me and I dedicate my time to them when they need. Sometimes I just witness people and see if they can help themselves before I assist. I don’t leave people lingering though. I just watch to see if they can determine the answer themselves before reaching for my advice. I like to see people grow in this way.
How do you assist those around you?
