Teeter Totter Principles

I find in life that things, good and bad, just seem to sneak up on you. Once it happens, I generally look back and say to myself "Am I naturally stupid or do I have to work at it???" It’s so easy in life to put other people "first". The problem is, "How ‘first’ should they be???" Where is the balance??? Most people have no confidence in themselves. We all get nervous when we look around and discover that everyone else isn’t doing what we’re doing. I really don’t think that The Second Lady requires us to destroy ourselves to "help" someone else. Sometimes we go to great lengths to convince ourselves that we are on the right track. Our Soul, on the other hand, knows the score and whispers in our ear "Look stupid, we can’t continue this way."
