Helping everyone else doesn’t make you a hero.
It makes you expendable.
When you jump to fix their chaos, you teach them your time is disposable.
When you sacrifice your peace, you teach your body it doesn’t matter.
When you stay “strong” for others, you teach your immune system to collapse alone.
The shocker?
People respect you more when you say no.
Why? Because strength isn’t availability - it’s selectivity.
Protect your energy like it’s your last dollar
Because once you’re spent, no one’s coming to bail you out.
