You cannot save everyone. Some people are going to destroy themselves no matter how much you try to help them.
You cannot save people from themselves. All you can do is stand firmly in your hopes for them, with compassion.
When the storm rips you to pieces, you get to decide how to put yourself back together again.
It will feel impossible; like you are dying inside this is your soul crying out for life. It may take everything you have; every ounce of will and strength. You will lose a part of yourself trying to save something essential and innocent. And when you have given everything, you will recover and you will be set free, and you will discover there was even more in you than you ever knew.
Acceptance is the road to all change.
