The more I try to please, the more I don't end up pleasing - plus - I get mad at myself for trying to please when I know better.<BR/><BR/>I like "My dog ain't in that fight" although I have never heard of it before.<BR/><BR/>And ODP - you are not alone with your feelings in BLog world. <BR/><BR/>And girl you're right - it takes NERVES OF STEEL to define yourself.Chatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-10038713678753167892009-03-31T13:10:00.000-04:002009-03-31T13:10:00.000-04:00Pleasing others does NOT work. It doesn't earn you...Pleasing others does NOT work. It doesn't earn you love, it doesn't earn you time, it doesn't do anything but nibble away at YOUR life.<BR/><BR/>We have a saying out here, maybe up there: "My dog ain't in that fight." Meaning, "I have my boundaries. Your life is over there. My life is here."<BR/><BR/>Families teach the destruction of boundaries. Don't get me started. I think I am totally alone in this bloggie world in my attitudes towards families and marriage! But let me say, I have seen a ton of miserable people entangled with families and spouses. Something ain't working.<BR/><BR/>Let me add in to your Mozart quote the fact that Thomas Edison has the guts to do exactly as HE pleased. He slept when he was tired, he worked when he was alert, he ate when hungry -- none of it by the clock, much of it earning him derision, UNTIL of course all his discoveries...but it takes nerves of steel to define yerself.Olde Dame Penniwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11871888334179316997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-86193376648712277222009-03-31T11:38:00.000-04:002009-03-31T11:38:00.000-04:00Well ok then....I give up.Everytime I try to make ...Well ok then....I give up.<BR/>Everytime I try to make everybody happy...everyone ends up PiSsEd, including me!^..^Corgidogmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06087352436997512186noreply@blogger.com
