I have often said that I am afflicted with BOMTYCC disease (Bite Off More Than You Can Chew). I tend to take on more than I can handle, and sometimes I frustrate and overwhelm myself. I am often guilty of doing too much...more than necessary maybe, a little over the top sometimes. "Why drive yourself crazy?", I am asked. I don't really always have an answer other than to say that I just need to do it...there is a voice inside me that insists.
So, tonight after a night of one Murphy's Law Moment after another and feeling like I am not going to get it all done. Feeling like I am not going to meet those deadlines... I ask myself why I insist on driving myself crazy. And the answer, I guess, lies in the quote below. I know that this too, will pass and I will once again feel as serene as this photo...but in the meantime....I will just cling to what I truly believe....that giving to others, doing for others, is the highest calling....and in the end, I will forget this night of frustration. It will be long gone...but hopefully, the things I am able to do for others will live on.
The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy."
