Helping others become even better versions of themselves
‘The lighthouse does not wander the world looking for ships to save, it just shines its light for ships’.
That is a quote I read today or something like that. The thing is there is so much of this ‘help others’ and ‘have a purpose’ and so on. Perhaps, if we just focused on our light, being the example, then we can be a light for others. Otherwise, how can we help if we have no light ourselves?
If we think we are strong by never being weak it is, in fact, the opposite. To be strong and brave is to be vulnerable. Part of being vulnerable means letting others help us.
The other thing is if we do not let others help, not only is it a weakness for us but we are denying others the chance to feel the joy of helping others and all that it brings to them.
