Lighthouses

We do not need to set out to help others…people are not broken and do not need fixing.

Yet we set out with what we believe is a good intention to change or fix others as they appear broken through the lens of our mind’s view of them. They haven’t asked to be fixed or changed and what was good for our journey isn’t their journey. We are all on our own path.

Of course, we can be a light and example for others to help them if they need it or to inspire them.

After all, a lighthouse does not sail the seas looking for ships to help, it shines its light for them when they need it.

It’s a choice we can make at any point

What if we choose to accept others as who they are?

What if we choose to seek to find the good in them, not the bad?

What if we choose to understand and hear them first?

What if we choose not to evaluate them based on a judgement?

Perhaps the world would be different, it’s a choice we can make at any point.
