Sometimes I worry so much about what others are doing in my life, I forget to live. I would say, most of my life I have not really LIVED the way I want to, simple because I have others thoughts, feelings and well being in mind. Don't get me wrong, it's great to put others before yourself. However, if this is all you do every second of every day, you are forgetting the most important person...YOU!
I have come to the realization, with much reluctance, that I can't change anyone but myself...though it doesn't stop me from trying.
I can't make someone like me, I can't make someone live the way I think they should etc. etc. etc.
A wise woman once said to me, "do you always take other people's advice? Then what makes you think someone would take yours?!"
Because I'm always right that's why!!!! ha!
All I can do is share what works for me and hope that it helps those I love along their path in this life. If not, I can't carry that burden. It's too heavy for me to bear other's problems. Even if I want to carry other's burdens for them to make their life easier...it's not mine to hold and maybe they don't want me to carry it!?
"We need to learn to live, to focus on something good or useful to our lives and let the rest of the world go about its business."
Have a good night!
