Weeks ago a friend of mine came to my house to live for a while, he is a mess and I do hate that cause I am a mess myself, however, given the fact of my mission, and the power of the lord, we are through all the uncomfortable moments. When he first came to live with me I knew he needed help, and I knew I could provide such help, nevertheless I was blinded by the second enemy of knowledge, and I was trying o help him with my autobiography, placing him in all the imaginable situations I have been, later he told me, I am not you. That statement made me realize my mistake, I wanted to help him but I did not know how to.
Months passed by and after reading through the book of Dr. Stephen Covey I started to apply some principles on our last night conversation, empathic listening, I did want to comprehend him, so it did happen. Hi finally found his way into his life, the place where hope has been hiding all this dark years, he was reborn, then I knew that is probably the first and last thing I could have done for him. Help him find him very self.
I showed him how to look in his eyes.
I showed him how to look in the eyes of others.
I showed him how to tell other from himself.
But probably that is a lie, probably I just was blessed with one of the most enriching experiences of my life: A man sharing his progress in the quest of himself.
Alex, welcome to the rest of your life.
Best Regards,
