I was struggling with a situation and today the clear thought came – Move out of the way.

We tend to offer our help and support with all right intentions and yet the result is sometimes contrary. And we find ourselves trying harder to fix a relationship and the more we try, the more stressed it gets.

Sometimes the answer lies not in doing more but doing less. Our ability to step back and allow space to the other person can be the best thing for that relationship.

Moving out of the way doesn’t mean we don’t care. In fact it means we care enough to put the other person and the purpose before ourselves. 

Moving out of the way doesn’t mean we step aside with a huff or abandon the other. That would show our ego is hurt. Then we’ve put ourselves first. It’s stepping aside with grace and humility, watching and caring from a distance to play our role. when called upon.

It’s only when we ourselves are secure within can we effectively be comfortable in a relationship from a distance.

It takes two to tango. But some dance their best when we move out of the way.
