Out of Our Hands

"I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh Lord,

don't let me be misunderstood."

Neil Gaiman

Good intentions and structured follow through help us to deliver support to those we perceive as being in need.  We determine an offering that is in alignment with what we have to share.  Even with certainty of our goal, our efforts can be misunderstood.

We tend to back off from our original thought of reaching out.  We talk ourselves out of our imagined plan for fear of being criticized or misunderstood.  As time lapses and we do nothing, we are critical of our selves which is totally contradictory of our original plan.  

If we become aware of someone who has needs whether emotional or physical, an intention surfaces and without further consideration, we need to follow through.  We go with our reaction and with good intention we deliver our support.  Our responsibility ends there.  We leave feeling good to have honored our selves and the rest is out of our hands.
