She sells sea shell selfishly

She sells seashells by the seashore
She sells seashells by the seashore
She sells seashells by the seashore

Still remember this?

or ever tried to tie twine to three tree twigs?

I am sure that at some point in your life, you have tried reading out loud and were somewhat enthused by these tongue twisters.

Was that a long time ago? Or does that fell like yesterday when you were in high school surrounded by smiles and laughter, trouble-free minds and carefree hearts? When we were unselfishly sharing our teenage years among friends and at that time, we were only responsible for ourselves. We let the adults took care of those gigantesque tasks. After all these years, now it is our turn to worry. Our turn to shoulder the responsibilities that once were theirs. Some of us were obligated to grow up faster than others, some became wiser if not taller!

To some, age is just a number while everything else runs on autopilot. Have you ever drive a car with your mind on other things but the road? Sure your eyes were fixated on the road but you were somewhere else that after a few minutes you discovered that you were driving along a familiar road (i.e. work place, shops etc.) but nowhere to your planned destination? It was like the brain was waiting for our instruction and when we did not give any, it just automatically refer to our long-term memory. It switched on to autopilot!

Could it be that, among a group of siblings, the 'non-involved' will just wait for the 'leader' to offer the best solution to a family crisis and in a lot of occasions, there will always be the one person who unselfishly offered to carry the flag and lead the pack.

You only did this once but once is enough to let everything go on autopilot. You have volunteered yourself to dig the trench. You went deeper not knowing where this will lead you to. Do you continue to dig? maybe its time to be thinking a little bit more of ME and MYSELF above all? or the other way round (where the shoe fits!).
