Notes About The Poem
Some people want so much to help that they take on more than they can handle. They just can't say No to anything or anybody. Then they get too many irons in the fire and everything goes wrong because one person is trying to do it all. They haven't learned that there is just so much any one person can do.It's important to give yourself a break now and then. Learn to say that you have already got too many other things going on and can't take on any more. When you try too hard and try to do too much some other people may think you think you know everything and won't give anyone else a chance to show what they can do so back off and give yourself a break and let someone else give it a go.. Everyone will be happier.
LIFE CAN BE BETTER
It's easy to get frazzled,
Just drained by difficulty'
But there's much more to experience,
The best things in life are free.
You'll find every day holds treasures,
More treasures than troubles, you'll see,
If you just take a moment to notice,
To take a deep breath, just breathe.
Just decide to be happy,
Whatever your circumstance;
For help is just 'round the corner,
You have but to ask, take a chance.
Most folks make their own problems,
By taking on more than they can do;
Then get mad because of all that's expected,
And thinking that they're being used.
Just learn to say 'No, I can't do it.'
It's okay, you can't do it all.
By taking on more than you can handle,
You're setting yourself up for a fall.
Just learn to know your own limits,
Whatever you can or can't do.
You'll be happier by setting your boundaries.
To thine own self be true.
