You have a brilliant mind for solving problems—other people's problems. You can diagnose their patterns, see their blind spots, and map out their path to healing from a mile away. It makes you feel capable, valuable, and in control. Focusing on others is a sophisticated distraction from the work you're avoiding in your own life. It's easier to be a guide for someone else's journey than to feel the vulnerability of being a lost traveller on your own. You've mistaken being needed for being loved. The most courageous act you can do is to turn that insightful gaze inward and ask, 'What if I applied my own best advice to myself?'
