it stands to reason that with personal growth, a person, whose sights have been set on taking good care of everyone else, may awaken, one day, to acknowledge a need to take good care of one's own needs, as well.
Pain is Mother Nature's Chief Indicator that draws attention to something in need of fixing that has gone wrong ...
During one session with insightful therapist, who helps me to juggle my needs with those of my beloved 100 year old mother, wise advisor asked: Annie, do you know why you choose to connect most often and intimately with strong willed people?
This question arose in response to my having spoken at considerable length about my choice of husband, best friend, writing partner. Without hesitation, this insight emerged from deep inside my mind: Each of these people provide me with on going reasons to push past the limits of my comfort zone. You see, while hoping to establish common ground with each of them, I force myself to identify and express my needs more openly, honestly, thus with a greater sense of self empowered clarity, today, than I'd felt free to do so before.
Therapist response ... "Bingo" ... big smile :)
