I see it happen quite a bit, sometimes it is appropriate, but
other times it is not. So, what am I referring to? Having someone do something
for you so you don't have to do it.
For some things, which require a special skill you haven't
developed yet, that needs to be done right away, yeah, it is good to have
someone do that for you.
And there are other examples I'm sure you can think of where it
is necessary and preferred to have someone do it for you, but there are things
people may want others to do for them, that they should do themselves. In fact,
there are things no one can do for you like live your life.
When it comes to self mastery, no one can do it for you. Yes,
there are people who can teach you how to become masterful at expressing life,
but in order to graduate into the Mastery of your life, you need to do it, no
one can do it for you.
So, the next time you are considering having someone else
"do it for you" pause a moment and consider whether this is something
I need to do myself, even if it is something I really don't like to do.
Sometimes, those things are important steps along the path of life which propel
us forward in our self mastery, so to hand them off to someone else, is counter
productive.
If we depend on others for our accomplishments, they aren't our
accomplishments, they are someone else's accomplishments.
It is better to teach someone how to do something so they can do
it themselves, than to just do it for them. Yeah, just doing it for them takes
less time and may be easier, but then they are dependent upon you, so if/when
you are no longer there, they are screwed.
Each of us has an innate skill and or ability which comes
naturally to us. To be of service to others, we may teach others how to do
that, if or when asked to do so.
We are more of service to others when we enable others to do it
for themselves.
(I believe this is the approach the blue avians have taken. They
provide guidance and encouragement, but they aren't going to do it for us.)
