You can’t be everything to everyone. It’s not a failure, it’s math. Time, energy, and attention are finite. Spreading them across infinite demands means nothing gets done well, and you burn out.
Saying “no” isn’t selfish, it’s strategic. Every “yes” to someone else’s priority is a “no” to your own. Identify what actually matters to you (your non-negotiables) and protect them fiercely. Let the rest go.
You’re not a Swiss Army knife. You’re a human. Focus on being enough for the few things (and people) that count.
So, what’s one thing you’ll stop trying to be this week?
