Many times in our lives, we are faced with a friend who needs our help. In trying to help them, we try to figure out the best ways to do that, even though we may feel that the answer may be staring them in the face. We have often heard it said in the spiritual world that when we seek advice, "the answer lies within us". There are some good questions that should be answered by the person who is seeking help. Many times it takes somebody on the outside to get that person to look inside themselves for answers. We can help a friend by getting them to think about and answer the question, "How do I feel about this problem?" Many times a person may be so involved in their own troubles that they don't even stop to think about how they really feel. If they took the problem out of their own life and looked it from a different angle, how would they feel about it? We need to be able to get that person to really think about their problem from a different perspective and try to come up with some solutions that might help solve the problem. To be able to solve a problem, we need to get our friend, or even ourselves, to ask, "Is this good for me? Is it good today both mentally, physically and spiritually? Will it be just as good for me tomorrow and every day after that?" We may think that being able to answer those questions should be easy and sometimes they are, at least in part. We may understand that the solution will be good for us physically but we may not have thought about what it will be doing to us emotionally or even spiritually. As we try to figure out if our problem can easily be solved by talking about it, our bodies may have a different idea, so we need to ask, "What does my body have to say about this?" Most often, when we have some kind of problem and try to solve it by taking shortcuts, our bodies respond negatively. If we are not being true to ourselves with out solution, we might end up with a headache, stomach ache or back ache. Article Source: http://www.ArticleBlast.com |
