This simple article has just shifted my entire being! For years in my role as a Counselor I "fixed and helped" more often than I'd like to admit...although numerous times I had come from a place of serving...the institutions for which I was employed actually demanded that we come from a place of helping and/or fixing! So I ended up opening my own private practice and just now I see where at times I was in the role of the fixer and helper and that diminished my energy and burned me out...ever since, I've yearned to do similar work and have created an online blog for which I teach folks about meditation techniques and finding their passion in life. I honestly feel that without really knowing it I had made the decision to "serve" rather than fix or help! Through reading your post I've now realized this and am relieved as I feel for once in my life I am finally living within my genuine self and serving to the best of my ability! So I Thank-you from the bottom of my heart and soul for clarifying this for me today! I am going to share this with my circle if you don't mind!
