Fixing Other People?
Filed Under Law of Attraction |
Have you ever seen a close friend or a family member struggle, and you yearned to step in and make a difference? Tonight at dinner, I had a wonderful chat with a friend about another lovely friend who is living with a whole bunch of drama. We all want to help her, but she is still not ready to receive. She feels safer in the drama. This is good for us to recognize, or we would be very frustrated. We love her, we let her know that, and then we move on with our lives until she is ready.
You will never make a difference for those who are waiting for you until you stop trying to help the people who are not ready. Love those you get frustrated by, adore them, hug them… but maybe it’s time to stop trying to teach someone who has not yet declared himself or herself a student.
When the teacher is ready, the student will appear. When you are done trying to “fix” others—spending time on people who are not ready—you will see all of the hundreds of people who’ve been waiting for you to make a difference for them.
Sometimes you think you know what someone needs… but really, you don’t. Only that person does. Let the Universe orchestrate your life, your family’ s life, and your friends’ lives.
Perfect timing, perfect teachers. It kind of takes the pressure off of you… you know, the pressure of being the general manager of the entire Universe.
