Thanks everyone for taking the time to share your thoughts. I guess at the end of the day it is as much about balance as anything else. Maintaining a sense of awareness of yourself as well as the person you are offering support to in any given situation. Giving thought to all of your intentions, even those that might not be obvious and considering how your intentions will affect another. Examining before posting, or thinking before speaking about what your words say and how they will be heard.

I take from your thoughts too that one needs to trust their own instincts while checkng thier motivations. Let good, kind and honourable intentions be your guide. Giving without expectation so that one can offer a helping hand and words of encouragement without investing in a particular outcome.

I do over think things a lot. Thanks for indulging me and offering your thoughtful considerations.

Much appreciated. More food for thought. lol.
