Oftentimes I have this overwhelming urge to "fix" everything. Over the recent past I've learned it's best to sit back and enjoy the ride because my wishes aren't necessarily the wishes of others.

  1. Oh, that is so WISE. Great thought. It's so tempting to try to be everything to everyone - it's refreshing to let others shine.

  2. I'm very much like you. I like to be in control and to veer people in the right direction. Always. But sometimes people need to do what is best for them. And I need to accept that. Thanks for this quote!

  5. Do you think they'll realize the error of their ways :-). I have a bit of the same problem myself so I suspect we are soul sisters. I hope you are having a wonderful day.

  7. I love this one! I definitely need to just take it in sometimes instead of trying to help. Receiving is sometimes much harder than giving.

  8. I tend to be a fixer too. So much harder to sit back and let others take the lead.
