Sometimes Your Good Intentions Are Interference

Maybe your well-meaning actions are actually getting in the way

Empathy comes from your heart and being that person, feeling into what is genuinely for them. Sympathy has a story to uphold but continues to keep a distance.

A lot of well-meaning people end up creating the kind of unfortunate situations that well, wouldn’t happen if they just left things alone.

“We don’t want you to feel left out”.

A well-meaning past colleague of mine kept insisting on fairness in how she was approaching her role in being a team leader.

She didn’t want to appear like she was “playing favourites” so she would go out of her way to make sure that it looked fair to the rest of the team.

I love doing things by myself. I often prefer it too because well, I’m big on being in my own world. This is why I also enjoy running my own business. I love taking control of what is within my control and that includes what my day looks like. I am big on self-management and learning by myself. This is a testament to the work I have been doing in becoming my own best friend.
