Not too late to fix things.
I have a neighbor who’s stressed. Almost to the
breaking point. Because she tries to be all things to all people. But
especially to extended family of sister, uncles, aunts and cousins. Instead, I
tell her, focus on the most important handful of people. Maybe her husband. He
should be her genuine true love. But she’s been too focused on others. For five
years now. She’s neglected her husband. Spreading herself thin. Paying too much
attention to relatively minor actors/characters in her life. They don’t deserve
much attention or consideration. They should be treated as lesser lights. Seems
to me that in a marriage/loving relationship, one’s lover should be one’s
primary focus. Even more important than one’s career. But too often it isn’t.
Little wonder that many marriages/relationships break up. They aren’t
cultivated and renewed on a daily basis. Not given top priority. Fortunately,
in this case it’s not too late to fix things. –Jim Broede
