How To Help Someone Else

Every person and each situation can be improved/helped by …

CHANGING A THOUGHT from despair to hope.
CHANGING WORDS from “I don’t know what to do” to “I’d like to know what to do”.
CHANGING FOCUS from discussing the problems to discovering solutions.
CHANGING ATTITUDES from “life is hard” to “life presents endless opportunities”.
CHANGING BELIEFS from “it’s impossible” to “you never know what might happen”.
CHANGING PHYSICAL POSITION from sitting to standing, inaction to action, clenched muscles to a more relaxed state, breathing shallow to breathing deeper.
CHANGING A CHOICE from one of giving up an addiction to one of taking on better health.
CHANGING LOCATION from being close to what’s stimulating discomfort to closer to what stimulates peace.

The only way I can really help someone else is NOT by telling them what to do, but by influencing through living my life as an example and allowing them the space to discover what is right for themselves.
