You WANT to help 'em all but...

Imagine that you are standing on the deck of a ship out in the middle of the ocean. A rogue wave has just come by and swept several people overboard. Near to where you are standing is a stack of life preservers. What would you do? Do you think that you would stand there and consider whether or not to throw the life preservers to them? No way! You would be grabbing and throwing the life preservers as fast as you could. You would be urgent about it. The next thing you would do is focus on pulling the people out of the water who grabbed on and wanted to be saved.
You would want to save them all. But you know what? That wouldn't be up to you. You couldn't help someone who didn't grab the life lines. Perhaps they are too proud or think they don't need it. It doesn't matter why they don't grab the lifeline...the point is that some people in life won't grab a lifeline when you throw it to them.
Sure this is an elementary example...but take this into the day to day...how many people are financially drowning...or drowning in their misery because they don't like how they spend their time...or drowning in their health issues....and you offer them a life line and they ignore you!
You cannot save everyone. Your job is simply to offer people the lifeline. Everyone deserves an opportunity to do better, but you cannot make someone take the opportunity. This is a hard lesson to learn. In my early days (and occassionally now too) it would really bother me when I knew for certain that what I had to offer could really change this person's life, but they wouldn't give me the time of day. Here's the thing that I realized that helped me...if I allow the people who won't help themselves to affect my energy or my willingness to offer it to someone else, then I am allowing someone wgo won't help themselves deprive someone who would (but won't get the chance if I don't act).

It is simply a fact of life that you can't help everyone...but you can help everyone who is willing to help themselves! You just gotta spend your days throwing out lifelines.
