"Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
Sometimes the things that make us successful are the very same things that get us in trouble. In one environment they launch us to the top, and in another, they alienate us from the ones we love.
And since it's not advisable to be a chameleon and change our personality depending on the situation, we have to learn how to temper ourselves while still maintaining our character. We can be sensitive to the needs of others without disowning ourselves.
I can be sensitive without being a doormat. I don't have to squish myself in order to fit inside someone else's comfort zone.
