FOCUSING ON O.P.D. (OTHER PEOPLE’S DRAMA) INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON MY DREAMS.

So, first off I have to say (as many of you know), I am an inspirer, a motivator and a coach. Guilty..I love helping others.  I have always felt a sense of happiness and fulfillment when I can help other people.  Sometimes it’s a good thing and sometimes it’s not.  Lately, I have realized the time I have spent helping certain people in my life (although a lot has been good) a few are not and I am spinning my wheels.  I wake up each day frustrated that I am not further along with my goals and I don’t know why.

A DAY OF FIRSTS

Well, today I can tell you is a day of firsts for me.  Firstly, I realize that as much as I want to help and do try to help certain people, if they are not willing to help themselves then I can keep inspiring, encouraging and cheering them on because I see the good in them but realize today i have to pull back and focus on my goals and dreams.

Sometimes focusing on other people’s drama who want to keep making excuses for themselves is not a good idea.  I have had to take a step back and ask myself, am I helping them or enabling them?  Because they really aren’t at a point in their lives where they truly want to help themselves.

It’s today when I realize I am only in charge of myself and that’s always whom I’ve been in charge of so I have declared today that i will focus on my goals and that includes getting my words out to the universe because there are people out there who are struggling and I can make a difference in their lives and stop focusing on helping those who ask for advice but aren’t ready nor may ever be ready to help themselves.

Have you ever found yourself in this situation?
