Lift others through your work and through your own example, and be open to helping those who ask for help, while avoiding codependency. In other words, help others, but avoid doing for them what they can do for themselves.

The more you do for others what they can do for themselves, the more you disempower them from learning, and the more dependent they become on you.

Always strive to empower others to do things on their own. And do it by sharing with them your knowledge and your awareness—teach them. Empower others to become their own creators; don’t make them dependent on you, don’t make them your followers, make them leaders, make them creators.

“Leaders don't create followers, they create more leaders.” ― Tom Peters

“My job is not to be easy on people. My job is to make them better.” ― Steve Jobs

What is this image here? It looks to me like people carrying surfboards on their heads, but that wouldn't really fit with the title. So who knows? Maybe they are carrying food, platters of food, but usually that type of carry is women, not men. A mystery!
