Isn’t it it amazing how we take people for granted sometimes? It really grinds my gears to know that some individuals do so much for other people that they often believe that will never change. But what if it did? What if one day you woke up and that friend you always call in times of trouble stop answering your phone calls? What if that loved one stopped caring as much as they do and what if that mentor/role model said “you’re not worth the trouble” and stopped investing in you?
I think it’s important to always remember that people are not obligated to do things for us no matter who we are.Your husband doesn’t have to bring you flowers home every week. Your co-worker doesn’t have to grab you a muffin along with their coffee in the morning. Your boss doesn’t have to give his employees gifts for the holidays and people who were placed in your life to guide and help you along the way could choose to spend their time with someone who appreciates what they have to offer. If their heart is in the right place, they’re doing these things because they truly want to see you succeed and be happy. Not so you can drain them by constantly taking and never giving back in return.
It’s a dog eat dog world out there and a lot of people treat it as such. Let’s try not to take advantage of the ones that oppose this idea.
