Years ago, I saw these words attached to the refrigerator of one of my mom's friends. I copied them down and have carried them with me ever since. If you recognize the author of these words, please let me know.
It is never my
responsibility to…
Give
what I don’t really want to give.
Sacrifice
my integrity to anyone.
Do
more than what I have time to do.
Drain
my strength for others.
Listen
to unwise counsel.
Retain
an unfair relationship.
Be
anyone but exactly who I am.
Be
100% perfect.
Follow
the crowds.
Put
up with unpleasant people.
Bear
the burden of another’s misbehavior.
Do
something I cannot really do.
Endure
my own negative thoughts.
Feel
guilty about my own inner desires.
Submit
to overbearing conditions.
Meekly
let life pass me by.
