When you haven't completed anything that you know you have to get done before moving onto another project, you confidently volunteer yourself into another thing that isn't even yours. Ugh! (dot dot dot) I just did that.
Now let me tell you what's going to happen next. Right now, I am feeling so much regret. I'm already feeling the need to back out, quit, abort, CANCELLING. Yes. I have a good rep on quitting everything I start. It feels good. It feels freeing.
That's my motivation for today. Just quit.
Yeah. Just quit. Who are you to them?! Really. Things can and always do feel like it's the right thing to do; the right moves. You feel involved, you feel a part of something important. You feel needed, you feel like you are making the right choices; and that everything you contribute will be well acknowledged. But I guess where I'm stuck is, who is it really benefitting?!
I suppose I don't mind being a stick-in-the-mud AGAIN but, if you already have the know-how, and that all you need to do next is to apply it somewhere, who receives all the praise?! At this point, it's all about stepping on you and your efforts too help them get ahead.
I don't want to think that's what's always going to happen. You have faith in things that will help everyone grow, including yourself but, will all the glory of your efforts be shared with you?!
It's not a selfish thing if they begin to accuse you of being ungrateful to the so-called opportunities they feel will help you. Sure, it can help. But it may not be what you need. At least at that precise moment when it is presented it to you. Real talk. It really doesn't help.
