entry #8

you can't be everything to everyone. 

i could end on this statement and be done, or explain.

let me explain.

people have needs. different needs for different people. and bottom line is, you can't meet all of those different needs. you can't be everyone's best friend.

all you can do is be real with what you have - real with people, but also real with yourself. if and when you try to do it all (because you probably will at one point or another), you will see that you just can't. you get stretched too thin because of how far you have been spread. it's like people get your left-overs, instead of the main course.

so decide which people in your life get your main course, and which ones are worthy of only left-overs.

you can't be everything to everyone.
