The toughest thing can be to keep going when things look tough. To keep the motivation when you do not seem to be seeing results. When you feel you have tried and cannot try anymore and do not see the progress. This is when you are making the most progress and must continue to keep going and have faith. Its easy when things are easy to see, and you can see where you are going. It is harder when you know where you want to go but do not know where you are going currently. I am someone that will always give 100% no matter the task I am doing that is the only way I can give effort. Sometimes it can be too intense, and my energy can overwhelm others but at the same time I would always want to give my best. Thinking you know better than other will make you look like a fool. Noone knows enough about someone else to be judging and making decisions for them. You can advise and add your knowledge to help someone decide, but you should never assume the decision you would make is the best one for them. We know and understand what we would want best. We can try and learn everything about the person but only they will know what they need and must give it to themselves. When you are co-dependent on someone that can hinder your life. You need to be able to do things for yourself both emotionally and physically. When you become dependent on others to be happy, to give you things, to expect things from them this will bite you in the butt. Never ever expect anything from anyone and never need anything from anyone. What if you get ignored one day by the people you depended on and must learn it all immediately under pressure? This can be overwhelming and not a good strategy to have. You need to be able to be there for yourself and look out for yourself. The sad part is you cannot be there for other people until you are there for yourself. You may want to be a hero, but the smart money is on being a hero for yourself to look up to each day. What are the tools you want and need to survive each day? What can you be doing to lead yourself the way you want? Are you doing everything you can for yourself? When things get difficult you will need to have strength mentally be able to deal with it. Being co-dependent will increase your problems and limit your ability to solve them. Having support is what you want and then being able to solve your problems. Being dependent on something means you do not have the power or the control of the situation. That to me makes me feel scarier when I have no power or control over something. You want to feel empowered and not scared. If you are afraid of facing things yourself, you are not alone. Start with a fear that will not cripple you and move your way to the ones that do. Fear builds the more you ignore it, but it gets reduced when we face it and see that we can beat it.
