Balance

I often find it difficult trying to maintain a balance of selfish (but necessary) aspirations and service. Most of my mentors are constantly beating my head in about focusing on the things that I need to do that will benefit me the most. I struggle with wanting to help other black folk that see me in a position to provide assistance to them. This is and has been (I have been told) a problem that will always be there. I appreciate the love and accept the responsibility of holding down my people but must admit the internal struggle does exists.
