So many times this year, I’ve tried to solve other people’s problems, only to feel like a failure when they still wind up unhappy.
Sigh, if there’s anything I’ve learned this year, it’s that you can’t just swoop in and save people from themselves.

If someone is experiencing bad luck, or a bad phase, it’s ok to show support. But some people will just choose to be unhappy no matter what.
-
I also realized that by solving other people’s problems for them, you rob them of the chance to overcome hurdles and grow up on their own.

There's a saying that goes something like, "You can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves"

I like that one, and also “don’t light yourself on fire to keep others warm.”
-
Yeah, you should light them on fire instead. That way, they will stay warm for the rest of their life :)

If I've learned anything, is that ambition is overrated.
