"I understand what makes a woman think that any man is better than nothing. I'll just neer understand what makes a woman think she's got nothing." -Jeremy, on "Sports Night"
This quote struck me, mostly for the last sentence. In fact, I only included the first sentence, since the second one doesn't make as much sense without it. Today in class I was thinking about how much of a control freak I am, and that it really needs to be changed. I'm a multi-tasker and an efficiency fan, and so I usually feel like it will get done the best and most efficiently if I do it. But that's not a good mindset to have, especially with children or students. Though really, it's never good. So why do I feel the need to be in control? Where did it come from? I think the gluten-free thing has even exacerbated the problem. However, recently I have learned to let people help me out, even learning to ask people to help me out. That last one is a big one. Being humble enough to ask for help, and to feel confident enough to think that people want to help you. I think we often feel like we have nothing to give, have given very little, and so cannot ask for something in return. It's a skewed perspective. It's also important to let others do things. It empowers them, is a sign of trust and respect, and lets them be of service. I need to remember this more often. And the fact that I can't actually be in 3 places at once, even if I want to."this is the song that you throw on when life is feeling rather long, and you're longing for the confidence to make it. these are the words that make you feel that all your dreams aren't dreams but real events that haven't taken place yet. but if you stare high, the sky will come right down and kiss you. if you keep your head towards the stars, they will assist you. the world is yours." -Andy Grammer, "the world is yours"
