What's the value of helping people?

Do you like helping people? Is is important to you? What is it about helping people you enjoy? Do you feel worthy? Does it make you feel valued and valuable? Do you want to save them from something?

What don't you enjoy? Are you frustrated when you give your best to someone but they don't seem to want it or appreciate it? Are you shocked or saddened when friends and family get angry or upset at you when you're simply trying to help them?

Do you find that no matter how much you help people, some simply never seem to change?

There is nothing wrong with wanting to help people. It's awesome. Empowering people to know they can change anything in their lives is a gift. 

Just know that even when you do your best, people will choose what they choose, and it's got nothing to do with you. 

People choose what they do because somewhere, somehow, they like it. 

If you'd like to get clear about why and how you can help people with greater ease ask “What's the value of helping people?”

What if rather than being distracted by trying to help people who simply don't want your help, you asked "What other action could I take to create the changes I'd like?"
