The more we try to stop others from falling, the more we hurt ourselves.

About This Quote

The more we try to stop others from falling, the more we hurt ourselves. The opposite of this is also true: the more we let them rise, the more we're helping ourselves. Think about it: if you're worried that someone else is going to fall, then you're less likely to help that person get back on his or her feet. You're worried, and that makes your fear stronger and your actions weaker. But if you trust that someone else can get back up on his own, then you give him the confidence he needs to get back up again.
