Wednesday Thought: How Can We Really Help?

"In my early professionals years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?"

--Carl Rogers

PS: I believe this is also true for consultants! Being one, I know firsthand.

I agree, Don. I have sometimes been a metaphysical consultant over the years. Whenever I had a client in front of me, the relationship between us was everything...when it came to how much I could offer and how much they would take away with them when they left. My policy was to never let them leave until they smiled! :)
