Todd Graham

I consider myself important; however, so are other people, especially if they are in trouble. I have a tender heart, but know how to establish and keep personal boundaries. I am empathetic and compassionate, but also believe that it's best if people solve their own problems and learn to take care of themselves, if they are able.

I am deeply moved by the needs of others, but know that if I don't take good care of myself, I wind up being of no use to anyone. I strive to be fair and sensible, taking care of others while also taking care of myself.

When someone really is in trouble, I like to collaborate with them toward a solution; they do their part, I do mine. I consider carefully, and respond in a sensible way; they do their part, and together we move through the difficulty.

I seldom act impulsively; rather, when a problem arises, I take my time to think through the situation. This contemplative quality usually means that I’ll arrive at a diplomatic solution, one that's fair for the other person and also fair to me. It's frequently a win/win situation. I also have the ability to act quickly in response to situations requiring an immediate outcome.
Many people, perhaps the majority, will come to appreciate my balance as a compassionate person. The more they get to know me, the more they will admire my thoughtful compassion for others and its compliment in the sensible ways I take good care of myself.

Those whom I help will appreciate the way I leave them with their dignity by expecting them to collaborate in their own rescue. Those who are more tender-hearted will find in me a balance they lack; when they've run out of energy because they fail to take good care of themselves, I will still have enough compassion left to lift others out of trouble.

Even the tough-hearted, those who believe people should solve their own problems, might come to admire my tenderness which they don't find in themselves. So the people I help will be grateful, and the people who see my balance between self and others will admire me. Certainly, balanced is not bad at all as a way to be known among friends.

REMEMBER: "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- WOW--What a Harley Ride!"
