Being Helpful

     “… in order to be capable of benefiting others, we need first of all to deal with our own confusion – our own lack of confidence, our lack of clarity, and our fear of pain. To be helpful to others, we need to begin by working with ourselves.

      … the most valuable help we can give to another begins with developing our ability to simply be.”
