October 22 – I’ve Got People for That
“Spiritual growth begins the moment we stop expecting someone else to carry our load.” — Father John Doe
Over-dependence isn’t asking for help — it’s outsourcing your life and then getting mad when the staff quits. I’ve done it a hundred times. I’ll ask someone to remind me, pick something up, handle a call — and when they forget, I act like I’ve been betrayed. Like my to-do list was supposed to be a group effort.
Truth is, half the time I wasn’t overwhelmed — I was just avoiding. I once asked a buddy to drop off paperwork because “I was swamped.” Translation: I didn’t feel like doing it. When he forgot, I turned it into a character defect of his instead of a truth about mine.
That’s the lazy kind of selfish again — expecting people to carry what’s clearly mine, then catching resentment when they drop it. These days, when I catch myself trying to hand something off, I stop and ask: Am I asking for help, or am I just trying to skip responsibility again?
What’s one thing you’ve been waiting for someone else to do — that you could just take care of today?
