Learned something

I have a friend who is in a destructive situation. I know this, I see it, all of our friends see it but she doesn't. In my attempt to "help" her see the light (the way I see it), I've been sending her "inspirational" emails. Well, it all backfired on me yesterday. She took these emails, twisted where I didn't want it to go, and came out with the I'll never be as good or as strong as you. Oy vey! I didn't see that one coming at all. I was blind sided and so mad at myself I couldn't even begin to understand where I got off telling someone something. Then it hit me. In order to Battle to Heal your life - you have to want to go into battle. You have to want to make changes. You have to decide that there is a better life for you out there. I can't make this happen for you. I can't decide for you that change is necessary. I can't battle for you. My job, as your coach, is to help you when you ask for help. Not overwhelm you with the help you don't want but to be there to assist when you are ready for change. This was a tough lesson to learn and definitely a hard way to learn it. However, I'm blessed that I was taught this lesson with one of my best friends who also knows forgiveness. So I have learned, I can tell you what I've done here on a public forum but until you ask for help this is all I will do. When you want to change, call me. We can make changes throughout your life that will increase your success, your confidence and your ability to make this life the best you can.

Blessings to you!
