If we have gotten hooked into believing that somehow we will be the one who will make the difference in someone's life, if we are trying to prove how good we can be for someone, we may be in trouble.

If we're out to show people we're the best thing that ever happened to them, it may be time to see if they're the best thing that ever happened to us.
That one really hits home for me. I've so many times gotten involved with troubled people. Typically the guy who was abused as a child and has had trouble with the law all kinds of inner problems that ONLY I understand and i can help him feel better...

I gotta remember that last part.
