I’m guilty of this! 🙋🏻♀️ I love them so much, and I thought doing it for them would help them avoid frustration, issues, or even predicaments.
But what it’s actually doing is creating a type of dependence that doesn’t support them or you. It takes away their chance to find out how capable they are.
We’ve all messed up and had to figure out how to fix it. We usually don’t make those mistakes twice.
By regularly doing things for others, we deny them the opportunity to become independent and confident in their own abilities.
These might seem like small gestures, but there’s a bigger picture.
You can still support them, love them, be there for them, but make sure you aren’t taking away their power and self-confidence in the process.
