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

2/2/2011

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.

There is a parable - You can please some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all the time. I was talking to someone on Monday about this. As Ginny wishes for herself, so I wish for her also.

Ginny, as you know I am dealing with this happiness issue too. Letting go of this sense of responsibility is so hard. As you wish for yourself, I heartily wish for you also.
