When helping others, there’s a big difference between what we think is best for them and what they think might be best for them.
Just because you think you know what’s best for that person, doesn’t mean it actually is. It may not align with their purpose or calling, or it’s just something they genuinely don’t want or need to do.
What they want for themselves may not be the full answer either. Really get to know that person, find common ground that could truly help. Don’t be closed-minded and think your way is the only way to go, and also continue to help even if they don’t do exactly what you think is best.
Understanding and respecting the perspectives of others is essential in offering effective support.
