I do think that it is up to each one of us to do this job and it is a day to day job but in a meantime Hillary i realized taht you can not help people who don't want to be help! I had a friend from Lawschool in Paris who always took all my positive energy for herself and i realized that whatever i could say to her she would never ever change what was wrong with her life (bad spouse, housing problems...;) but would always keep bleming others for her missfortunes instead of acting and being proactive. I don't know whether what i am saying makes sense but i realized that after spending four hours together when it was time for me to leave she would finally ask me how i was doing (by the way)so i stop calling and giving because it takes a lot of energy out of one to always be there for those people. I do think and I am so grateful to my mom, my family and my shrink to have opened my eyes and be more positive and helped myself to be at peace because it helps me in my every day life to be more positive, even when difficult tragedies cross my path.

I guess it's easy to fall into bad habits, or think that what's happening right now is just the way it is. Unfortunately, as you've both noted, that can lead to the belief that things can't be changed — rather than the idea that if one doesn't like things, one ought to do something about it. Kudos on an excellent post! Boy, this is a strong post, and true. I guess it's easy to fall into bad habits, or think that what's happening right now is just the way it is.
