Every where you turn there r people in need of help. Whether its friends, family, co-workers, or strangers most people have a few people in their lives who could use help. Help can come in many forms such as: advice, money, house work, chores, running errands, or patching up damaged relationships. As an extremely kind and generous person >_> I can say that I frequently find myself turning away people in need of help. Now, we all know I am always available to give advice I am not excited about offering other forms of help. Its not because I am stingy or selfish or mean or anything else, its simply because I have learned that my first priority has to be myself, Sometimes when helping out other we loose focus and forget that we come first.
It is great to help out when I can. I am happy to help as long as it
does not inconvenience me. Helping others is awesome until its not
anymore. The trouble comes in when you try to help someone else and it ends up back firing. For example: loaning a friend money that u expected to be repaid at a set date. When for some tired reason the
money doesn't find its way back to you when it was supposed to and now
you are falling short on you own responsibilities.
Or if you allow someone to move in with you after they have been thrown
out, evicted, whatever etc. And then they become the house guest from
hell. Lolz
In the end I thoroughly think through a favor whenever my help is
solicited.
If for whatever reason the act of generosity in question is
not a good fit for me I comfortably turn it down because, however,
awkward it will be for me to turn down that person in need, I know it
will be a thousand times more awkward and frustrating to have a conflict
as a result of helping someone else.
So the next time you are about to "help" someone out just make sure its
not gonna hurt your progress!
THINK IT THROUGH!
Talk to you soon!!!
