My son has been talking a lot about how he wants to help all of the people who are struggling in his life. Whether it is through lack of friends or through tough times, my son wants to help them all. The thing is, people may not want to be helped, so my son’s good will may just be all for nothing. It is important for those who want to be helped to recognize the aspects in which they need help, and these aspects are not part of my son’s job. Unfortunately, it may not be easy as people can often care about their issues rather than the root cause of their issues.

I tell my son “They need to know themselves before anything else,” and this reflects one of the factors of Human Success which is Heaven Luck. This refers to the innate characteristics and dispositions people have. This is an amazing tool, however, it may be pointless at the end of the day because one must desire change for change to occur. While Heaven Luck is a large factor, understanding another’s heaven luck is the difference between your words reaching or not since one may be in a career that is simply incompatible.

At that point, people must focus on their Man Luck. Man Luck is another factor of Human Success that deals with one’s hard work and determination. This is, of course, relevant because one may know all there is to know about oneself, but it will lead to nowhere without proper actions. This relates to the idea “people must want change for change to occur,” and that starts with the drive to want to change the norms set in one’s life.

It is common that the main thing preventing one’s growth is oneself. While one would love to help a fellow loved one, they must want to be helped first. Whether it is due to an archaic ideology, or a persistent personality, one should not be berated for simply doing their best in something they didn’t know was compatible. If anything, one must be praised for one’s dedication because the drive and will is admirable, but as people who care, talking about reality should not be something one choosing not to do,

While my son wants to help everyone, he can’t help everyone. At the very least, he can ensure that he is there for everyone if their endeavors do not do well. While a basic act of human decency, it is an act of ultimate love and care, because it shows how, even in a moment of failure, one would still choose to stay. While it is possible that one is with someone due to something circumstantial, people who aid despite the hard times are keepers.
