Sometimes in certain life situations, you need to do nothing. If you are a person like me, who likes everything right with everybody in your world, nothing is the last thing you’ll do. When you care too much, doing nothing is so hard, especially when you know it’s the RIGHT thing to do. If you are a “fixer” like me, to sit back, hands off, and do nothing is the most frustrating thing for you to do.
It takes a strong person to sit back and do nothing. I’m not that strong. I’m even a bit selfish at times. I do realize that it will also make me feel better to “fix it”. This is the hard part. I can’t once again make it about me. I need to put others that I care about before myself, and if nothing is what they need, then so be it – even if it makes it so hard on me, because if you’ve ever cared deeply for someone, your needs and wants will take a back seat and you will do what they need you to do – even if it is nothing.
And so, as another day goes by, nothing is my mantra, and …I have written.
