ULOG 001: Reach out at your own extent

Have you done this conversation before?

For some people, it is really hard to see others suffer all by themselves. Sometimes guilt creeps for just watching and doing nothing. You subsequently go to a situation of a trying-hard lifesaver that wants to carry the entire burden.

It is difficult for you to play dumb to be just fine knowing someone – a family member or a friend – is not doing well. A solution of lending a hand to help, an ear to listen are all it takes but sometimes all they need is you to make the job.

It is really not wrong to help but the point of taking it all? Not a chance, Pal. You just share. You just take some. It is their problem in the first place then why all of the sudden you are the one needing assistance? It is because you keep on insisting that you can but you can’t.

We are not superheroes that are immune to pain and challenges. We do all have that challenges, big or small, so, act naturally. Do not wear a mask of someone that is way out your personality just to be look good. Teach those people to be strong enough to stand on their own feet at the same time doing your own work within your extent.
