MAC Wk 2 - Passing on the Possibilities

Now that I think I finally have my own life under control (at least for the moment) I have been called upon to help someone else and I am struggling. A friend of mine who lost her job a few months ago called me this week and asked if she could move in with me because she had no other place to stay. She is an older lady in her 60s and she was recently diagnosed with glaucoma and is losing her sight. She is feeling very down on herself right now and doesn't feel like anyone would want to hire her even though she is talented, articulate, and good at her job. I am especially thankful that this month I am reading The Art of Possibility because there are some very good ideas that I can not only apply to my own life, I can pass them on to her. I also, for the first time, am thankful for all the hell I went through over the past year because it really has made me a stronger person and has given me a set of skills and experiences that I can use to help other people. But this is a difficult journey. Being depressed is difficult and since I have only recently come out of my depression, being around someone who is also depressed is especially stressful. I will continually look to Ben Zander for help.
