"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. People know themselves much better than you do. That's why it's important to stop expecting them to be something other than who they are."
- Maya Angelou
"You meet saints everywhere. They can be anywhere. They are people behaving decently in an indecent society."
- Kurt Vonnegut
I like to think of our energies as a resource... a finite resources (unless you’re Superman or Superwoman). Just understanding it is limited, we get to accept that we can’t handle everything alone. We can’t accept every invitation for diner, every request for a favor, we can’t answer every call, and please everyone. It’s not that you’re a bad person, it’s only that you’re human and can’t handle so much. So ultimately when comes the decision to say yes or no to that or this, keep in mind that it is a decision of where you want your energy to go AND last but not least where else it won’t go.
