Deepak Chopra Instagram – #AskDeepak My response: Your recognition of the difficulties your boss is experiencing is simply you being aware and concerned.  But your discomfort and distress over his struggles has to do with your individual viewpoint that assumes you know better what he should do and how to fix it but don’t have the power to do so.  This doesn’t mean you should say something or try to help. It sounds like you already are, and I think continuing to offer support and guidance is the responsible and kind thing to do.  But see if you can give support without expectation and without a judgment that if he doesn’t accept it, he is making a big mistake.  This requires that you recognize that every person, including your boss, is always following their own appropriate plan regardless of how it looks from the outside.  While we are following our plan and sharing what we have learned with others, we need to always respect the choices and sovereignty of another person’s path.  We may think we know how to help them stop struggling, but the particular set of circumstances and experiences they may be going through are precisely what will help them achieve their own personal breakthrough, and depriving them of that would not be doing them a favor at all.   So offer support and guidance, but with a light touch while always recognizing that everyone is always securely on the path they need. Love, Deepak
