3-2-1: Making small bets, how to do great work, how to support the people you love

“Even before you do anything to help, your wholehearted presence already brings some relief, because when we suffer, we have great need for presence of the person we love. If we are suffering and the person we love ignores us, we suffer more. So what you can do—right away—is to manifest your true presence to your beloved and say the mantra with all your mindfulness: “Dear one, I know you are suffering. That is why I am here for you.” And already your loved one will feel better.”

Buddhist monk and author Thich Nhat Hanh explains how to support your friends and family when they are suffering:

「実際に何か手助けをする前に、あなたがそこにいることで安心感が生まれてる。なぜなら私たちは苦しい時、心を許せる人にそばにいて欲しいと願うから。あなたが今すぐにでもできることは、そばにいるよと証明すること、そして心からこう繰り返し言ってあげて『大変だね、わかっているよ。だから私はここにいるよ』と。そうしたら既に大事な人の気持ちが少しは落ち着くはずだから」
