“People who are selfish have little problems but they seem big. People who are generous have big problems but they seem little.” ~ Mother Theresa
As I listened to the contents of this video, I became seriously aware, that I share many of the subject’s traits. How many times in your life, has someone spoken of their problems, that to them seem insurmountable? You, however, look at their problems and you cannot believe how the other person can be so upset about things so small and trivial.
I’ll guarantee you, that people who generally tend to turn molehills into mountains, are small-minded and self-centered. Their main concern in life is their own personal wellbeing and not the wellbeing of others. They are selfish at heart, I know, because I used to be like that. That is why I became depressed. My little problems were huge to me because I had no perspective.
People who are abundant in spirit and generous seem to handle everything in life with grace and calmness. They are the ones, other people turn to in times of difficulty. They are also the kind of people who eventually become leaders, not because they want to. But because other people want them to.
So, what kind of person are you?

I do not make mountains out of molehills, but I know other people that do, and yes they tend to be self-centered.
I have been told that I have a gift of helping others. It does exhaust me at times, but the purpose is rewarding enough.
God bless you and your recognition of your life purpose, which is to help others, LaJenna.
I am the kind of person that everyone depends on but at times it can be overwhelming.
Oh, for certain, it is no easy task, Gloridaze, even Jesus in a moment of overwhelm, said:”Physician, heal thyself.” When as you say, the work becomes overwhelming. May you be blessed with good health and abundant strength for years to come.
Thank you and same to you
