Helping, is the deeply entrenched idea that we can change someone else's life, thoughts, beliefs or feelings... No. You can inspire them if they choose to be inspired, love them if they choose to be loved, motivate if they desire to be motivated etc but YOU cannot HELP them, THEY help themselves. By choosing better ways of thinking, believing, acting, getting up, learning, optimism, hope, focus etc etc. The only help we provide each other is the mirror to see our own broken selves and with that view, a choice to walk away and forget, fix it by changing it, or beating ourselves up over it. Those we "help" are a choice to engage the broken in ourselves, so we can face it and hopefully heal it.
