When they don’t ask much of you
it’s easy to be used to it
and to simply roll with the flow
and assume that it is the weight of the world
as you look at the balance of things.

And then, when they ask something of you
and it is a bit of inconvenience?
Stop.

Think of what has been done in your name
for your honor
with you solely in mind.
Think about how you have been put first
and how little has been asked for of late
or ever.

Think of this
when they ask something of you
on that rare occasion
and then say “Yes, thank you.
May I have another?”

It may not necessarily apply
but it will be a nice gesture
nevertheless.
