You may feel caring and considerate toward your loved ones today, which could lead you to spend time helping family members and friends with everything from domestic chores to life challenges. Though your feelings of love and care might encourage you to shoulder burdens on behalf of loved ones, you might serve them better by guiding them in helping themselves. By encouraging them, building up their confidence, and cheering them on as they take tentative steps on their own today, you will be contributing to their lasting happiness rather than enabling their feelings of powerlessness. Good ways to show your support would be to encourage them to find their own solutions to problems or coax them into taking action to resolve long-standing problems.

Empowering others to improve their life circumstances helps us contribute more meaningfully to their long-term happiness than we would by attempting to solve their problems for them. Our hearts are certainly in the right place when we try to make things better for our loved ones, but our overeager actions can end up hindering their progress rather than contributing to lasting positive change. By training ourselves to become cheerleaders and moral support partners to our loved ones, we empower them to become their own saviors and remind them that they always had the ability to create more satisfying life circumstances. One of the most meaningful ways to express your care and concern for loved ones today is by empowering them to help themselves through any challenges they may face.
