I need perspective

See, the problem is I want to give everything I have or do everything I can for others without expecting anything back from them. I try and work hard to understand what their priorities are and change my life and goals accordingly.

When it comes to my family members, I cannot garner enough time for them. I do not try to understand their priorities. When they try to tell me their priorities, I even get irritated! But, I expect the world from them! I expect them to understand me, support me and be with me no matter what!!

See, that's the problem! I don't know how to think about this. I have to develop a perspective. Perspective is a valuable thing age can provide you. And, the new year on my calendar reminds me that I am getting old.
