LETTING OTHERS BE

"Adversity is the first path to truth."
~ Lord Byron ~

When I am struggling and people try to fix me and help me, I feel a little irritated. I'm not broken- I'm just having a bad day. I'm human and life is hard. And yet, how readily I put on my cape and leap to the rescue of others. I want to help and fix them! But they're not broken either, and they don't need my fussing and bothering and meddling. All they need, and likely all they want, is my appreciation for what they're going through, and my genuine and heartfelt love.

I can't fix what's not broken. I love and appreciate people wherever they are.
