Fixing Others

We have the tendency to attempt to fix others.  Normally this is well intentioned and comes from our perspective and vision.  It comes from our ability to see what they cannot, we are positioned from our angle  where we can see them at their full potential.  We can see what they can become if they start making different choices, if they are courageous enough to start making changes, if they are dedicated enough to make efforts for a better good in their lives.  However, when they don't engage in these efforts and when they can't see what you see many of you get frustrated, distressed, and even depressed.  Then you start making efforts to even subconsciously force them to do things differently.  This gives me a glimpse of how God sees us from His perspective.  He sees all the potential that we can achieve, only if we desire to believe and start taking steps to fulfill the purpose for what He created us.  The difference is that He respects our free will and He is waiting for us to walk on the path that He designed for us. Our individual paths is our responsibility.  And I wonder what are you not doing in your path because you are engaged in fixing someone elses life. How much effort and energy are you investing into fixing others.  Assess your life and start living it at its fullest, it is your responsibility.  While you are assessing your life just think about the potential that God sees from His perspective and live it.  Give to yourself, love yourself, invest on yourself, you are worth it.  Then you will become an effective agent of transformation to others. 

Challenge Yourself

Often people tell me about their dreams and goals, and shortly after they say some internal or external force shuts them them down.  And again another possibility of growth and potential is extinguished, leading to mental "falls".  It is like the opening or a crack that allows the entrance of unconscious feelings of low self-esteem, low self worth etc....  This allows our mind to start attending to things that are just so unimportant, yet making them important, stellar, and critical.  Afterwards it turns into a vicious circle of confusion and repetitive self-defeating thoughts and behaviors.  This can continue to the point that people might know that they are not living the life that they want to, but if you ask them they might not even know how to start making adjustment to get out of the dysfunciton.   But guess what there is hope, only if we start taking one step at a time, and allowing the thoughts of possibilities in our minds.  What is the worse thing that could happen if you try.  Well you could retailor your dreams. By allowing a renewal process you could be in the good danger of allowing new and good things in your life.
