When is it Too Much?

In my life I always want to grow, learn, and strive to be perfect. So I study my self and the habits that I have developed in my life through the different events and circumstances that have occurred. I have realized that I take too much responsibility when doing group assignments, and this can result in many problems.

When doing group work or assignments I will do so many things, and take on so much of the work so that my other group members don’t have as much. There are several reasons as to why I do this. One is I know I can do it better than some one else because I either have done it before or I like doing it.

Although I can do things, I have noticed that my actions are enabling others. I am giving a free ride or an easy time. I have realized that this is very unfair on their part and may part. I am not giving them a chance to grow and learn and develop skills that I already have.

Sadly this problem is so much more complicated because I now think that by taking on more of the work load there is less room for error or failure. Also I am developing the maturity and the stamina to take on a heavy work load.

So, what are more important, other people or I? When is it too much, when do I need to step back and allow problems to arise or when do I step in and take on things that is way too much. Do I allow others to fail and affect my mark?

So now the solution that I have come up with is that every situation is different. I have to weight the circumstances and the possible out comes and make a responsible and smart decision. I also can not let others come before my self in certain circumstances, and in other circumstances I much put others above me so I can push them to a higher level.
