Helping Other People - The Right Way and the Wrong

Many times our trials and challenges are caused by other people. Perhaps they're making poor choices about finances and that's affecting us. Or maybe they are struggling spiritually and causing us anxiety. Whatever the case, there is a "right way" to interact with others and a "wrong way." If you can get clear on the distinction between the two, you can alleviate a great deal of stress in your relationships.

I used to fret over loved ones who were making poor choices and not reaping the blessings they could. I took ownership of their problems and tried to "fix them." I was convinced that if I said the right thing or did the right thing that they would see the light. I also felt a great deal of guilt and responsibility if I wasn't able to help them. Then I learned this principle and was able to let go and trust God in the "Who" matters of life. That's what this segment of the "Becoming the Hero or Heroine of Your Own Life" videos series is about.

I'd love to hear from you if you find this segment helpful. :)

Hi... funny coincidence but when I put on your video I was busy re-reading Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattle on the section where he says you can't force people to make your vision come true. :-)
