I agree with this quote, but not everyone can help all the time and I think it’s important to remember it’s not on us alone, it can feel overwhelming seeing how much hate and preventable suffering there is and some days it is just too much (at least that’s what I feel); what I’m learning is that to be most effective:
** Shift work – we do our bit then we rest while others step in, and repeat. The rest bit is vital, and trusting people will step in even if you don’t know who they are. Things won’t change quickly, unfortunately, so we need to be ready to keep going.
** We do what we are the best person to do – and let others do the bit they are meant to – trying to solve everything will wear you out
** Reduce our own stress a little and then help others to reduce theirs (powerful ripple effect I will speak on another time); there will be times we need support too. We help each other balance.
** Feel what you feel – when you need time to feel heartbroken or rage – take time to, process and then get back at it…
