Healthy Giving

Just in time for biggest gift giving holiday of the year!

But this isn’t necessarily about tangible giving.  It is more about giving of yourself or really giving what the person needs.

You don’t have to meet the demands of family and friends.   You don’t have to give gifts because they were requested (or hinted), or because you think it will make the person happy.

Maybe teaching the person to fish instead of feeding them.

Moral of the story – You can’t be everything to everyone.   They need to do for themselves.   Stop taking away their life lessons.   Allow them to fail.   Allow them to struggle.   Allow them to ask before you assume what they need.

What a great gift it is to allow someone to live their own life!
