Super Heros

In life I have made choices that at the time seemed to be goo choices and we all do this every day. For a long time I played super hero, running around rescuing people from whatever crisis they found themselves in at the moment. The only time when that was ok and healthy was when I was working on an ambulance crew and it was my job to rescue people.

What I have learned is that in rescuing people from their problems, I have caused both them and myself more harm than good. I harmed them because they were denied the chance to learn the life lessones they needed to learn at that point in their lives. IN turn they were condemed to repeat the same mistakes over and over again until they actually learned what they were supposed to learn in the first place.

The other side of the coin is that I hurt myself as well by not dealing with the issues inmy life that I was afraid to deal with. I used someone elses problems to escape my own and I was forcedto deal with them sooner or later. If I am taking care of my own issues and allowing other to deal with their issues, life goes so much smoother. I have found that since I stopped rescuing others my life is much saner. I can relax in the evening without getting a phone call from some whose life is falling apart.

I can allow someone to take responsibility for their life and their actions and it is ok, I do not feel guilty in the least. I live my life the way God wants me to live it and I need to allow others to find their path in life. Sometimes it is hard to allow it to happen, especially when it is a loved one. Yet, they have to learn their life lessons as well as anyine else. It has been hard letting go and allowing them to make their mistakes and it is also nice when you watch them rebuild their lives based on what they have learned. Have a great day all and God Bless, I love you all.
