the dream pushes, but it is now time to look around & see my environment as it is, and do my next steps …

Challenging because I thought of myself as very smart and knowledgeable, and surely others would benefit from my never-ending insights. I thought I would really help people, but lately I got to wonder "would my help really help them?" I am shocked of how much silence I bring to the conversations now. Anyway, I've been wondering lately whether I should speak, even though negatively in a matter of importance to other's life, people I love. This story came at a good moment to remind me to ask questions before assuming anything. I love them dearly, and I want more than anything for them to raise above their challenges. Telling them what I see (diagnosing with a specific mental state) does seem like a solution (if we diagnose we can treat), but my fear is that will limit their view to the box I will describe for them. I feel good about the discipline I had so far, but I know I have more changes to make, in order to really succeed I need to forget what I think I know and stop seeing them with those "glasses". I hope my love is strong enough for that. Thank you, today it was a real strength giver.
