Everyone is somewhere different on their journey. The important thing is to help them forward; not push them back. (sh.itjust.works)

What if it’s a wrestling journey where they’ll only get better if you push them?

If you're going to hit them with a steel chair, make sure to hit them from behind so they fall forward 👍

Be there to help them when you can, be ready to crush them when you have to.

This sums up most of my perspective.

Pushing them back can sometimes prevent them from walking off a cliff. Sometimes stopping those you care for and having them take a long hard look at where they are can show them a different path to avoid the cliff.
