I RESIST THE IMPULSE TO BE A "GOOD" HELPER

I don't have to take care of people by thinking for them.

Intimacy is not about helping people do things right, but rather being supportive and on their side.  Today I will resist the urge to do a "little lecturing" to those I care about.

I do not have to be a continual fountain of good sense, advice and infinite wisdom.  Intimacy means I can simply be with someone.  I don't have to take care of people by thinking or feeling for them.

Intimacy flourishes when I allow others the dignity of making their own decisions and accepting their own consequences.
