To help someone when they ask for it is one thing, but when was the last time you went out of your way to help someone that you knew was to prideful to ask for it even though you knew they needed it. Maybe it was a stranger last week, a loved one today. Whoever it was, do you remember the way it felt inside to look them in the eyes and hear them say “Thank you”? I sure do, which is why, even though it’s so hard, to remind myself to help people whenever I see a chance arise. But, and I know this well, sometimes insisting to help someone who would be better off without your opiniated version of what the best thing for them is worse than just leaving them alone. So before you go to help someone without them asking for it, it’s always best to ask them if they want help first. This is because helping someone behind their back can have negative consequences, especially when you don’t understand the situation they’re in.
These were todays thoughts that I wanted to share. Thanks for listening in and I hope to see you back soon!
