Ep17: Truth & Coffee Time Podcast - Helping until it Hurts!
How far is too far? When is enough, really enough? Helping until it Hurts, benefits no one, especially the giver. It may look like it’s benefitting the taker, but when it begins to come with a price or at the least hurting the taker - no one actually benefits. Exactly when is “no” the absolute option?
It is in a lot of our natures to just help. Help our family, friends, kids, grandkids, some strangers, and more. We just help until we can not help anymore. Sometimes we help people so much that they stop developing their own survival skills. They stop transitioning into the purpose that is awaiting them because you are doing all of their life skill work for them. We are surely here to help others but, we are not here to stifle their growth.
The reward is helping those who are pushing to help themselves. They have a plan and they are taking the help and applying it to the area in their lives to help push them forward. Also, for us who give and give, here is a great quote, “If we help others with the right intentions, we will be helped as well, to reap what we sow. One can only give if he/she has the ability to do so”.
