Machines break. People hurt.
Machines need fixing. People need healing.
“I don’t need to be fixed, I need to be heard and helped…I need help seeing my part in it – how I’m contributing to my own suffering and what I can change so that I hurt less and feel better…”
A few questions to consider:
– Do I recognize when I’m trying to “fix” someone? What does that look like, sound like for me?
– What am I trying to achieve or gain by having a “fix-them” perspective?
– Would I want someone to treat me like a victim so they can be the hero – or – would I prefer to be the hero in my own story?
– How do I need to change the way I think and feel about people in distress so that it changes my “fixing it” attitude?

I finally got tired of trying to fix my brothers. It was a very difficult thing to do and now that they are all deceased due to their choices over time, I miss them, but not the burden of trying to make them what they either didn’t want to be or couldn’t be. We are all at peace.
