Yes – it is quite a challenge for us to Allow people to struggle, because most of the time we are only “helping” because it makes US feel good…. we call it love, compassion, helpfullness, etc. BUT it is really selfishness- IF you can get real honest with yourself and really feel the sensation in your body when even a small situation arises and you “do nothing”. Practice THIS- this allowing your body to feel uncomfortable – just breathe and stay focused within while knowing that THEY are entirely capable to handle their life – that they know what is best for them and not anybody else. Notice how uncomfortable it is to “mind your own business” – to LOVE and let LIVE!! Can you find the courage to ALLOW what is to be as it is?? It is a very unfamiliar way and so it will be uncomfortable and your mind will say “that’s crazy advice”. Just try it and you will begin to see how needy you are, how you are addicted to those “good feelings” and the the love, approval,appreciation,etc. that you receive from others!! I like to remember a quote that really spoke to me when I was beginning to practice this FOR my children and grandchildren…..”their Challenge is to see that they can get along without me – and my CHALLENGE is to let them”… Are YOU up for the challenge?? IT IS ALL UP TO YOU!!! I KNOW you can!! YOU have everything you need inside you– feed it, nourish it, wake it up. Another quote that helped me was…”Things may FEEL worse before they FEEL better, BUT they will NEVER get better unless YOU ALLOW them to get worse!!
