Others Issues

Maybe we can better handle our situations that occur if we stop taking on other people's issues. Often we feel compelled to take on other's issues even without them asking for our help because we feel we can help. How are you really helping if you're making self based decisions for someone else, thus imposing your ideas that were never warranted? Yes there are serious times in life where we have to step in and help others, but those times are farless than when we feel we have to help with or without being asked. If we are able to help then yes we may help, but we shouldn't feel that we are forced to help and give our attention, time, and resources based on others pressures or expectations. We should steer away from helping because we feel that without our help things wouldn't get done, wouldn't get done correctly, or that we are the only one who could do it. We have to respect others boundaries, and most importantly our own. When we continuously take on others responsibilities we overwhelm ourselves and leave little time to handle our own issues that pile up. We also take away other's ability to figure their situations out independently, which aid's in their personal growth and development. Helping may seem like a natural response, but we have to ensure that we are helping when our help is requested, helping because it is needed due to a crisis, or helping because we have the time to help a specific cause. When helping others overshadows our ability to handle our life we need to reevaluate where we are directing our time, energy, and resources. Healthy boundaries and respect for others to grow through their life is one way that we can ensure that we aren't overburdened.
