Too Much Is Not Always Too Much

Have you ever felt like you are doing too much for a person?
Like you are sacrificing just too much maybe for someone, people, family, friends, loved ones, business associates, colleagues, coworkers, and all?
Do you feel you are doing all the work and sacrifices when the other party does almost nothing or not putting in an effort?
What about in a relationship? Do you feel you are always providing and sacrificing in all ramifications while your partner isn't doing the same or at least even trying?
Do you feel bad? Sad and tired?
Do you feel like giving up and taking a break from it?
Not doing too much again and just letting things be?

Well, I have been in that place. I was a victim.
Yes, I felt I was doing too much for some people.
I felt I was becoming too available to some people and some I felt I was making the whole sacrifices and I was mostly the one always rendering the help.
I felt the other parties were doing little or nothing at all.
And like I mentioned, I felt bad, I was sad and hurt.
So I thought, why am I always the one doing this and that?
Why am I always the one making an effort and letting my intentions known?
Why was I the stupid one here? As I considered myself at that point.
I asked so many questions and my mind bombarded me with even more.
I tried to find answers.

I made an analysis, hypothesis, and concluded.
I came to the point of deciding that I won't always put myself out there.
I would stop being too available to some people.
I would not put in too much effort and I would stop making too many sacrifices.
I had this planned out and I worked towards it even when it was difficult on my part since I was forcing it.
I was forcing myself to do the things I wasn't used to.
Along the line, I realized it wasn't the best thing to do.
It wasn't the best decision after all.

I only thought it was but it wasn't.
I realized I was only being selfish and not really considering the other parties
I was blinded to the truth that they too were trying their best.
They were also doing the little they could to make it work.
They were sacrificing the little they had and putting in their efforts too but sadly I didn't notice it because after all, I thought I was the only one doing all the work there was.
But no I was wrong, so when I finally came to the knowledge of this. I quitted the complaints and just went on with my life and try to make things go smoothly like they used to be.

So today I will ask you, do you feel most times that you are doing too much?
Do you think you are the only one sacrificing in that friendship? Relationship? Family and the rest?
Do you think you are the only one always making yourself available?
Do you feel you are the only one always making an effort?
If you have, then I would advise looking closely.
You may never know what the other parties are also doing in their part to enable whatever relationship there is between you and them works.

Don't be selfish to think you are the only one doing all the work, making all the sacrifices, and putting in all the efforts.
See and reason beyond this and trust me everything will be much visible to you and you will get to understand exactly what is really going on and the people contributing to the relationship
