We can’t help others if we are in the soup of suffering with them.

Build strength, clarity, self worth, self confidence.
Shine.
Inspire people.
Just by being true to who you are, challenge people to step up to your energy level.

Often in trying to help people we can find ourselves kind of being pulled down; joining them in their misery. Like there is some belief that if I suffer too, then somehow that makes me a good person.

If we really want to be of service, we need to give ourselves permission to really protect and nurture our fullest wellbeing.

No one genuinely reaches out for help from someone, unless they sense that there is something in them that is more stable, that is ok and has a strength and clarity of well-being.

Compassion and presence alongside suffering yes, acknowledging yes, but jumping in there too.. that just then makes two suffering people needing help.
