Comment on “Everybody talks about wanting to change things and help and fix, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that's a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect.”

  This will be a generalization, so it doesn’t apply to all cases, but for the most part, you are far worse at helping others of you’re unable to help yourself. If you’re unable to show others as an example of the fruits of their labor of change, it will be far more difficult to lead them to helping themselves.

  The goal is not to hand people fish. It’s to teach them. If you just give someone your help without teaching them, they will only become reliant on that help.
