Dead Weight

So many people seek change, yet they can never fully reach their full potential because they refuse to let go. We have backaches, headaches, and full body aches because we are carrying around DEAD WEIGHT! You can't live your life for your parents or your children. You have to live and walk in your on light. You are not responsible for what your mother did,or what your father didn't do.
I see so many people turn down life's happiness because they either feel guilty or not worthy of a blessing. I used to say what I was going to do with my family and others would say "Oh I wanna go" and by the time they showed up it was too late, or they wanted to change the plan while in route. Time after time I see a mother sacrifice her happiness for her child, and then that same child disrespects her like she owes it to them.

I have seen what strain and struggle will do to the body,I have also seen how people have had the life sucked out of them for carrying a person who can walk on their own. When I first became ill,my husband did not carry me (although I'm sure if he needed to he would) but instead he helped me help myself. He allowed me to continue to be my independent self, though alot of times it was more stubborn than independence.
I would tell people I don't like people waiting on me, their response, " Chile I would be enjoying every minute of it." My thought was always at what point do you not want to do for yourself? So many people want to do for themselves and cannot, so why would you want others to cater to you in such a way?

Now back to those body aches, once we have given people the necessary tools needed to complete a task, we have to step aside and let them do. If I have to do my job and your job then I will see to it that I'm the only one getting paid. We have to let some friends go, family, and even the kids. If people are not going in the same direction then move aside and let them go for what they know. You can't help anyone who doesn't want to help themselves, and you can't save those who don't want to be saved. You have to get rid of all the dead weight in order to regain your identity and live out loud.
