Wishcasting Wednesday "What burden do you wish to put down?"

Today's prompt was both easy and difficult. It is very easy for me to say, "I want to stop feeling that I am responsible for everyone else's happiness."  It is so hard for me to do.  When I was little my mother used to tell me, "You can't make everyone else happy, so make yourself happy and you will have pleased someone."  I thought that was incredibly selfish but now I realize, at least intellectually, that I can't please everyone nor can I really make others happy.  But there many days that I still keep on trying and this can be exhausting.  So I would like to begin to put myself first.  Even writing that was hard to do so I realize that for me this will not be easy.  But if I begin today, one step at a time, hopefully it will become easier. So today I would like to put down the burden of always making other people happy and to start thinking  of my own happiness more.
