Because if I know what's wrong, then I can find a way to fix it. When I started fixing sewing machines...I had no idea how to fix a machine. No one taught me what to do. I figured it out on my own. Every now and then, I have gotten some instruction for some crazy fixes, but other than that I have figured it all out on my own.
So if I know what caused the problem, then I should be able to fix it, right? I haven't met a sink, toilet, hinge, costume, machine that I couldn't fix. So why can't that be true in all things?
I have to learn that I cannot fix everything.
These hands can only do so much. This mind can only wrap itself around so much. I am not so amazing that I can fix everything....no one can.
It's not all about me.
It is not all about me.
I am only half of anything....
Except....I am all of me.
And that's all I have to offer.
That's all I can offer.
And that is enough.
I can fix me, where I need fixing. Because we all need some tune-ups here and there. But I cannot fix someone else. I cannot solely fix a relationship.
I can't be everything to everyone.
I can't be all things to all people.
I can be me. It is all that I should have to be. If I am not myself, no one will be me for me.
That sounded so weird. But it makes sense to me, and maybe it will make sense to you too.
In a nutshell:
I can't fix everything.
I can't fix everyone.
I can fix me.
I need to be me.
You need to be you.
Everything else, will work out the way it's supposed to.
