My Way Or The Highway

It would be a lot easier becoming the woman I want to be if the people around me weren't so annoying. If everyone else became the people I wanted them to be then it'd be a breeze for me to become a better me. I'd have no reason to learn patience if everyone did as I said when I said it. I'd have no reason to whine if no one ever asked anything of me. I'd have no reason for curbing my tongue if people knew how to drive. I'd have no reason to raise my voice if people just listen. I could be a great woman - a great mother, wife, friend, volunteer if everyone just did things my way. My daughter once said to me, "It's not even your way or the highway, Mom, because the highway isn't even an option." She said, "It's your way or no way!" She thought I'd be flustered. I said, "It's about time you figured that out!" Now, if I could get everyone else to figure it out I'd be good to go. But, alas, I guess it's easier to improve myself than it is to change the world. The things a woman does to improve mankind . . . I wonder if there is a lesson on pride . . .
