However, we mustn’t forget that our happiness and their happiness will not be the same. There is a graceless human tendency to wish upon others the ills visited upon oneself.

Setting them up with the best gift or gift cards is one way of trying to help them reach their goals. You can also help them by sharing resources and skills as well as showing them how they can accomplish their own goals as well as yours.
