Just being Me

Just being me is a tremendous undertaking some days, especially when I try to 'be everything to everyone.' This line I read in today's meditation.

I often try to be everything to everyone and what that usually amounts to is being no good to anyone, especially myself. In my mind I want to do and be many things to many people, but I can only, in reality do one thing at a time and sometimes not even that. My mind, it seems, does not rest in the moment on these particular days. It races ahead to what is next, what needs done, and how I am going to do it all. And in truth I never ever am!

So it is time for me now to go quietly within myself, taking a long soak, and do the work of not doing for a little while. The world outside of myself will still be there when I return.
