“It never hurts to help” – Eek the cat.
Of course whenever he uttered that catchphrase he would inevitably get clobbered. Recently I have been asked to help various people in my life with some problems that they themselves can’t solve. Doing so will cause some changes in my lifestyle that are not really all that positive for me. I don’t want to get into particulars but these changes are going to be harmful to me from a personal and financial standpoint. I have been thinking about them for the last week and frankly I have not been the best of company. These are changes that I do not want in my life.
But I am going ahead with them anyways.
I always preach about taking personal responsibility and helping those in need and here I have a chance to put those words in action. I am not overstating the fact that these changes are not what I wanted in my life. I feel that in the past year I have made some personal progress in several aspects of my life. I could really see myself enjoying life and making my life situation that much better and now these changes are coming in and acting like an anchor on my life.
I am going to have to take time and reassess my life path but that’s not something new. I have altered my trajectory before and probably will again. It’s just that as you get older that it’s not as easy to bounce from one track to another and not feel the ill effects. Generally a person wants to sit and coast more these days, not face challenges over and over again. Specially when I am not the one that cause the problems in the first place.
About helping I have no doubts. Looking over the situation from one aspect to another, I realize that I am not only the perfect person to help out but that in some ways I am the only one that can.
But why now?
