I've always been the fixer, the go to guy, the one that can't say no, and it gets in the way of my own life sometimes.
Over the past few months I've learned that I can't fix everything, that I can't be the one that does everything for everyone that stops me on the street, the bar, through a email or on the phone.
I'm beginning to realize that while I'm fixing everything in sight I'm loosing sight of fixing things in my own life, so starting today I promise you that I will continue to give out "free advice" tell you where you can find the answer, point you in the right direction, tell you who the "go to" guy is and yes at times I'll still do all the work, but.........I'm going to learn to say no.

I completely understand your situation. Many times, I have found myself in the same position. Sometimes, it's very hard to say no. Call it selfish pride or the fact that you just like helping people. Self & family have to come first, though. It's a very thin line to walk. Good luck.
