Let The Pain Do Its Work

So, you've inventoried your relationships, and found that you were trying to help one or more unhelpable people. Maybe even a close family member, spouse or other loved one. Now what? You might be wondering, "Then how can I help them? I can't just do nothing!" I agree. Love is actually an action not a feeling. If our love is genuine, then it should be demonstrated with actions. Here is my follow up video to help you with the next step:

So.... loving means allowing the ones we love to feel the natural consequences of their choices. (So that the discomfort or pain can motivate them to reconsider those choices!) Rememeber: you can choose to do something about your pain even if no one else in your life does.

Please don't ignore those dashboard lights... I did that for too long. The pit was only deeper and darker when I finally decided to climb out. Maybe you've already been ignoring those pain signals for so long, you think, "Why bother?" If that's you, I say: Never Never Never give up! It's NEVER too late to choose life!

Remember this: You always have options. You may not like any of them, but you always have options. Choose to take care of YOU and others who really want to change will eventually follow.
 

Unhelpable People

If you're like me, then you want to help others. Have you found yourself working harder to help someone than they are willing to work to help themselves? I have. I have also been that person. In my newest Vlog, I will tell you about two kinds of people who cannot be helped. 

 

Two kinds of people that cannot be helped: (REVIEW)

1. People who refuse to admit that they have a problem.

2. People who believe that you, others or circumstances are the source of their problems.

You have so much to give. And your time, emotional energy and money are your most valuable resources. Spend them first on yourself, and then on people who can be helped! Remember this: Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% what we do with it! Realizing that you are trying to help the unhelpable? My next Vlog is for you!

Becoming the person you want to be, and were made to be, is a journey. You need four good tires and a lot of fuel for a long journey (among other things). Watch here to find out what those tires are, and what the fuel is that will keep them spinning.

Don't have some or all of these? Seek them and find them like your life depends on it... because it just might. At the very least, the life you really want to be living depends on it!
