I find that when you are sitting on a plane for five or so hours and the movies that they show just don't grab you, you have finished the book you took with you, and the person next to you is asleep, all you have left to do is think.
I have had a fair bit going on in my head recently, and one question that has popped up for reasons yet unanalysed is this ...
"Where do you draw the line between putting others' interests first and putting your own interests first, without being either a doormat or selfish?"
I have to admit that I simply do not know the answer to this question. Putting other people first is a quality that both my wife and I consider important, and as such we reinforce this with our kids. I guess I am a little worried that if I cannot always get the distinction right in my own life then I don't know if I am teaching the 'right' balance to my kids.
I would love your input to this question. Please leave your thoughts in the comments section. I look forward to reading your thoughts.
Until next time,
