“You can't heal the people you love,
You can't make choices for them,
You can't rescue them,
You can't promise them that they won't journey alone,
You can loan them your map,
But the trip is theirs.
You can lend them strength when theirs runs thin,
You can light the way when darkness creeps in.
You can offer love, a hand to hold tight,
But their path's their own, through day and night.
They'll navigate highs, they'll face the lows,
Their journey's unique, the way it goes.
You'll stand as guide, a source of care,
But in their footsteps, they'll learn to fare.
Your support, a beacon along their track,
A guiding presence, to help them back.
Yet the road they tread, the course they chart,
It's theirs to walk, it's from their heart.
They'll find their way, through wind and rain,
With lessons learned, they'll ease the pain.
Your love's a compass, in the journey they're on,
But healing's theirs, when the night turns to dawn.”

“You can’t hit a bullseye if you don’t know where the goal is and you can’t solve a problem if you don’t know what problem you are trying to solve. If you are leading a team, child, client or employee, then getting them out of spaghetti thinking is the hidden secret to helping them make better decisions. It will also protect your time and energy so people stop emotionally vomiting on you and wasting your time talking about problems they have no intention of doing anything about. We can still be good listeners, but the ultimate goal is to help develop powerful problem solvers. Confused employees aren’t productive employees. Confused children aren’t children capable of reaching their full success. Confused clients leave bad reviews.”
