How much is too much?
For those who give too much, you’re supposed to stop that right now. I received advice yesterday that was plain and simple – hold back – don’t give so much of yourself. I said I don’t anymore – not like I used to – these last two years changed me profoundly – I am not willing to give the whole enchilada – no one deserves all of me. She said, see how many times you have said “my fabulous life” in just one hour – three times – make sure any person allowed into the inner sanctum adds and doesn’t subtract from the fabulous life. Of course, I said. Why, of course. But then I narrowed my eyes and asked her, “how do you know if you are giving too much?”
Does anyone have the answer to this question – for the givers of the world, how much is too much? For the takers of the world, how little is too little? Are there answers in the back of anyone’s book on these questions? Inquiring minds want to know.
