Why Sometimes It's Okay To Step Into Each Others’ Lives

There's a podcast I've been wanting to send to someone, and I’ve debated for weeks now. My hesitation is that I’m not sure it’s my business. I think it’s an interesting podcast that might inspire them or give them some ideas on what they’re struggling with.

I remember a man at church talked about stepping into others’ lives when we see them struggling. If we do it from love and a genuine desire to ease their burden, even a little, we should do it. It’s a beautiful way to let them know you see them and that you care. I think sometimes we get so caught up in our own world and we’ve got our heads in our phones, and we forget that there's real people around us who want real conversation and real insights and maybe even real signs that we care.

I didn't send it for weeks. And today I decided it is okay to send it. My intention is only to help, not to meddle, not to ‘should’ them, not to interfere. Just to genuinely say,  I see you, I care for you and here’s something I saw that might help.

Try this ONE thing

Is there someone whose life you need to step into? Do it from a place of love and trust that it will land as you intend.

Want to experience coaching? I like to start with a deep, get-to-know-you conversation to see if we are right for each other. Sometimes we talk for one or two hours at no charge. I have no goal except to bring about transformation. Together we work on the lies, the self-deception, the fears of the power you perceive to be outside yourself. We work on your difficulties in making decisions and your inability thus far to make bold choices in life and to follow through and trust yourself completely to do so.

The irony for some people is that the very thing that they want the coaching for (an indecisive, half-hearted life) is what’s keeping them from deciding whether to get coaching.
