"Every time I provided immediate answers, I prevented them from finding their own. Every time I carried what they should be carrying, I taught them that they couldn't carry it."

From my book The Death of the Savior.

For years, I thought helping meant having the answer. If you always hand over the answer, they never find out they could have reached it for themselves. You end up with people who need you more every month, and you call that closeness.
