I wonder why I feel so tired today - mentally and physically. Maybe because I had a late night the day before? Or was stressed out with work? Or my stomach gave way to these problems? I dunno. But I'm glad to be home to write this.
Had to grab a nap too. It's rare for me to grab a nap in the afternoon, unless I'm sick or something. Well, I feel better now - so I guess I'd be OK from here on out.
But I've been doing some thinking. Even though we all do our best to help our friends in need there are times when we have to set certain limits to what we do. It may be appreciated by many, but some have other opinions on it. And sometimes, it's best if you listen to what they have to say.
I can easily say lending a helping hand isn't an easy task. I have to invest a lot of time and energy into doing what I want to do. Then again, you can't always have them change in a snap if you just arm yourself with encouragement and what-nots. And sometimes, I overdo it. It was only because of a straightforward answer from a friend of mine that I noticed that trait. And I realize I've repeated it on and off for quite some time. So I need to work on that.
No one is born perfect. Even the best motivators and world leaders are still learning new things. And I need to pace myself evenly in order to continue my efforts. BUT of course, there are limits to everything. When you offer help, offer it only when it is needed. If they decline, don't force yourself to jump into their problems. You might just make a mountain out of a molehill. Which is what I did many times. Regretfully.
Let things slide. If they do need help then they'll ask for it. If you want to lend your hand, then you better make sure you do your homework and prepare for anything. Life is always full of unpredictable events. It's just a matter of how you handle them before, during and after it happens. Let not one's actions influence the future negatively.
I extend my warmest thanks to the one who has made me see my errs. (You know who you are) And also my sincerest apologies for having you tell me about it. I owe you lunch one day. =)
Cheers.
