The key

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." ~ Bill Cosby

A resolution which I am desperately trying to stick to. Difficult to undo a lifetime of such behaviour but I am certainly trying! I need to realise that it is possible to say no to people, it is even possible to disappoint people, it doesn't make me a bad person. I feel I've finally got to a point in my life where I need to put my own wellbeing first for once.

It's exhausting being the 'yes person', plus keeping up so many different fronts for different people and situations. I feel stretched, and I just can't do it anymore. A very down day, I awoke feeling extremely deflated so that doesn't bode well for the day ahead! I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.
