Inconveniencing yourself is one of the greatest ways you can love someone.
It’s not always convenient to answer your phone at 3am for a friend when you’ve got a big presentation the next day. It’s not always convenient to give someone grace after they’ve hurt you. It’s not always convenient to go out of your way, squeeze things in your schedule, make time for people when you have a bunch of things to do or it throws you off your routine. Hear me out. Being a 2 on the Enneagram (“the helper”) I have had to find a balance/ better boundaries because I so often would rather inconvenience myself, fall behind on work or my to-do list because I never wanted to disappoint anyone. What’s funny though (while I definitely needed better boundaries), I never looked at this as a downfall to my personality. At the end of the day, I feel productive and fulfilled knowing I showed up for people, that they knew they had me in their corner, or present in their life and checking up on them. To me, that’s the legacy I want to leave behind. I want to be remembered for being there and helping in any way I can, because we’re not meant to carry burdens by ourselves. Sometimes it’s inconvenient, but that’s the best way you can show you love people. Sometimes it’s staying later, or longer or walking through something rough and heavy with someone else when you just want to feel light and it just might require you lay down your plan. I’m not saying develop an unhealthy habit and put your priorities last, or that you shouldn’t protect your energy, I just think more of us could use a gentle nudge to look up from our to do lists and schedules and look into people’s lives you can pour into. Aren’t people what matters? It’s not inconveniencing myself to be there for people (it gives me joy), but what I mean is, it’s not always the convenient, easy thing to do when we have all these other things calling for our attention. I would just encourage you to be with your people today ❤️ I love this quote from my fave @bobgoff - “Loving people the way Jesus did means living a life filled with constant interruptions. Bring it.” #thesundaymsg #forsuchatimeasthis #esthergeneration #purposefulliving
