Just heard this today in a podcast about management, “It is easier to solve some else’s issues than your own”. So true.
And it is not only about solving issues at work. It is also easier to help someone else take care of each other than to take care of our selves.
And it is easier to see a problem with addiction or mental health in others than ourselves.
Sometimes we need to look at ourselves like we are the other, a stranger, a friend. And ask ourselves – how would I help this person. And then just do it.
