There is a difference between helping someone because if you don’t you will lose their love or some sense of you own image as a caring person, and helping someone because your impulse of heart moves you to their aid.
From: THE BOOK OF AWAKENING by Mark Nepo
REFLECTION:
- Reflect on someone you are helping now or helped in the recent past.
- What were your motives?
- Were you afraid to lose love or because your heart called you forth to help?
