All Things To All People!
Just like life's news-worthy and oft' repeated story -
Don't let your itinerary rule your life, making any omission a gory
Reminder of your ineffectual nature. Believe me -
It is the trap we unwittingly build for ourselves, to be
All things to all people - including "me" so I can feel fulfilled,
Effectual and complete. But most unfinished projects will wait until
You either have more time, feel more energetic or feel so inspired.
Some days just beg to be fully used but on some others, you're just too tired.
I guess the real gist of this written journey is much simpler said
Than we allow ourselves to admit when we fume and fret, instead
Of taking what you got and do what you can and enjoy what you did.
It takes the stress and the pressure from the steam on the "lid".
