newpost | "You vs. Me"
So far we've talked about "Them vs Me" and "Me vs Me", now I think it's time to talk about "You vs. Me". In this case the "you" I'm referring to, are the people best suited to help you (and possibly the closest) but invariably in the space between you and what you really want, and not helping you get it. And some of these people just aren't going to. Best friends, family, GF's & BF's may be the closest people to you, and may even be the people who understand you the best, but unfortunately they're not always the ones who want to help you get what's best. They usually want what they want. And it's usually whatever works best in their personal plans. Can they help? Sometimes. Should they help, yes if they can. Will they help - Not under ordinary circumstances. These "you" type's don't really help until they see a reason that helps them. I believe in sharing your dreams and aspirations with everyone, so that they know what direction you're headed in, but do not expect them to help you get there. So with this said, avoid at all costs, and where ever possible saying to these types of people "can you____ for me?" Because the disappointment that comes as a result of it not happening is much greater then if you tried to make it happen yourself. - @troymonaco
