Letting go of the belief that we’re powerless to help relieve our own suffering enhances our ability not only to heal but also to genuinely love and receive the love of others.

About This Quote

When we allow ourselves to believe that we cannot help relieve the suffering in our lives, we limit our ability to love and receive love from others. When we believe that we are powerless to help another person, we easily become discouraged and lose faith in the power of our own healing.
