Take a break….You Are A Limited Resource.

It's amazing how that we live in a world where everyone thinks you are a super (wo)man and as such they expect you to come to their aid whenever they need you, never realizing that you are a (wo)man of like passions who has stuff to deal with and bills to pay..
Such individuals often time prey on your vulnerability. They demand unlimited access into your life in order to keep feeding off of the breast milk of your soul. They are hooked on being your patient. They are addicted to your attention but never taking your advise. They are like patients who come to see you but won’t take your prescription. They just want to take up your time with their predicament. And the sad thing is you are always somebody else’s doctor, secretly wondering when is somebody going to medicate you.

I have come to realize, in my short time on earth, that when people see you as strong and mighty, they seldom feed you. Rather they feed on you. They see you as such a HERO. And sometimes we get out of balance because we are better at being there for other people than we are at allowing them be there for us. We have not be trained to open up, to being fed, so we are constantly being fed upon.
My experience has however taught me that in order to strike a balance, you have to be attracted to relationships where you are not the biggest or smartest one in the room. You have to be ok with being subordinate because you can’t be fed when you are addicted to being in control. To surround yourself with people who feed you is what makes you available for the people who need you.
Realizing you are a limited resource will help you prioritize your relationships. In the end you have to strike a balance. You are important too.
