You bring up some
You bring up some interesting points, Mary Sunshine, and some strong feelings in me. .
I know about burn-out.
With all due respect, over the years I have given attention to this dear lady. I spent half an hour on the phone with her last night. I firmly believe it is for her to take initiative. I am not her mother. I am not her social worker. I am not an intercessor between her and God. I am not going out of my way to do one more thing for her. I don't want to, and I also feel that it is better for her that I don't. Do I sound hard-hearted?
She has made certain choices. She can change them today. If she asks me for something (other than to listen to her self-recriminations), that's different.
Her theme seems to be how awful she is. When I went through my hard times, I wasn't all that different from this lady. Except my theme was more how good I am, and how badly the world treats me.
Jochen, what is the fairly recent Heavenletter about not feeling sorry for anyone?
Random Comments
As soon as I received Heavenletters from a friend, they resonated with me. I wanted to share them with my friends because they state so eloquently how to deal with some of the more difficult situations in life and career. In order to move on from them --- and to face other creative and momentous challenges -- change is necessary.
There are some tough questions in life, and these letters get to the heart of it all. They are profound, my reality, and they are sound advice for those that want to have a happy, fulfilled life. They are guides to finding our own personal truths.
