How Can I Help?

Spark #186 - Most people never get asked.

---

Imagine ending every conversation with this:
How can I help?

Not to fix anyone.
Not to prove anything.
Just to care.

Meditation teacher Michael Carroll once said in class:
I just want to be helpful. So I always ask.

It landed in my bones.
Because it’s simple.

Here’s what we forget:

Most people are barely holding it together.
Most don’t feel seen.
Most never get asked.

I don’t always remember to ask.
I forget when I’m rushing.
Or when I’m stuck in my own head.

But when I do
it shifts something.

A hand offered at the right time
reminds them they matter.

Sometimes, that’s all it takes.
