Today's mantra: "If I attempt to accommodate too many people, I'll never accommodate myself."

This started out as a complaint about my inability to see how a particular task will be accomplished, from start to finish, before I actually begin doing it. Usually I can. This time, I thought I couldn't. I've been bashing myself in the head for over a week trying to make myself see it. It wasn't helping. As I got toward the end of my complaints about myself, I realized something: I can see it from beginning to end. The problem is, I'm attempting to see it on too many levels, from too many perspectives and, when I think I've almost got it, I see another perspective that isn't accounted for. The biggest problem was that the closer I got to figuring it out the further I got from meeting my own needs.

I need to remember one thing. If I attempt to accommodate too many people, I'll never accommodate myself.

Everything looks much clearer now.
