“The hero mindset … we convince ourselves that we’re sacrificing to protecting others from getting hurt .. yet we fail to realize we’re enabling them to live a lie. We also fail to realize that we’re protecting ourselves from the consequences of the pain we’d reveal.” – Shane Parrish
Insightful. Guilty as charged.
After reflecting on Shane’s words, I could see areas in which my intervention was causing more harm than help.
Sometimes, the best thing to do is to allow life take its course, so we do not miss the lesson being taught and unwittingly become unprepared for the next phase.
