I feel humiliated, betrayed and disrespected by my two girlfriends of 30+ years. I made them a gift and although they thanked me, later they made fun of my hobby. Right or wrong, I feel they do not appreciate my handmade gift. This isn’t the first time something like this happened with them; I know how they are, but when directed at me, it hurts.
Focusing is a good thing. It organizes your thinking and gives you the ability to get things done. However, focusing too much can narrow your scope and cloud your judgment. If I find myself overwhelmed with focusing, I’ve found (actually my whole team has found), walking away for several hours can be a great refresh for your soul and mind.
Helping others from a distance allows flexibility to my demanding schedule and reduces stress for me. I now look at volunteering not as a commitment or a task, but as a blessing to have the means to help.
