Understanding your goals to help you achieve them.
Simplicity, Patience, and Success
For a long time, I believed success had to be loud. I thought it needed speed, pressure, and constant struggle. I chased more—more money, more recognition, more progress—without stopping to ask myself what it was costing me.

This Part of My Life Is Called Happiness
Chris had always believed that dreams were meant to be chased.

He wanted more than survival. He wanted a better life — not for himself, but for his family.

Written by Kathryn Monroe Edited with the assistance of AI for grammar and clarity There are moments in a life that arrive quietly and yet divide time forever. Before and after. Then and now. They do not announce themselves. They do not demand attention. But once recognized, they cannot be unseen.

The Long Game of Becoming. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Introduction: The Phase No One Talks About There is a stage in personal growth that is rarely discussed because it is neither exciting nor impressive. It is the phase where you are no longer a beginner, but not yet someone others admire. You are competent enough to see how far you still have to go, and experienced enough to realize that shortcuts do not exist.

I Didn’t Burn Out From Working Too Hard — I Burned Out From Caring Too Much. AI-Generated.
I didn't burn out from working too hard. Nah, the real reason I got burned out was caring too much. "I always thought burnout was about working too much, but it's actually way more nuanced." "Working for extended periods." Deadlines, ugh. Always on the go. Nah. That wasn't me, for real. I actually didn’t burn out from work itself. I just ran out of steam trying to care anymore. I just cared too much, you know? It all comes down to doing things right. It's tough when you really don't want to let folks down. Being the strong one means you're always there for everyone else, never really showing your own struggles. You just deal with stuff without making a big deal out of it. It felt pretty cool at first. Folks counted on me. They really put their trust in me. They needed me. I liked that. I just really enjoyed feeling important. Needed. Useful. But over time, caring slowly started to feel more like carrying a burden. I really felt the weight of everyone else's stress on my shoulders. Other people's expectations feel a bit like carrying baggage that isn't yours. Other people's problems. And I never stopped to check myself. I was really tired when I agreed to that. I showed up empty-handed. I really just ignored all the signs because I didn't want to upset anyone. I figured that made me tough. It didn't. The burnout didn't hit like a bomb. It just kind of snuck in. Quiet. It's really slow. You know that feeling when you wake up, and you're just... wiped? Like you haven't slept at all, even though you just spent hours in bed. It's a bummer, really, to start the day already feeling completely drained. Ugh, it's those tiny annoying things that just get under your skin, right? Things I really liked: It just didn't hit the same way, you know? Some days, even brushing my teeth felt like a huge effort. My least favorite part was probably the constant feeling of needing to be ready for anything. It’s hard to just relax when you’re always anticipating the next challenge. No one could see it. My life looked good. That's the main idea. Normal. "Inside?" Empty. I'm not sad. Not angry. Just done. That's the sort of emptiness you feel when you pour all your energy into everyone else and leave nothing for yourself. Being there for everyone else, always, but never really for yourself. Then someone hit me with a question I couldn’t dodge: When was the last time you did something just for you? And in that moment, when the unexpected happened, I just froze. I just couldn't recall. That really caught me off guard. I realized I only made room for others, never for me. I used to think that being selfless meant I was strong. "Rest = lazy" is definitely not true. "Boundaries = failure." I just kept going. Never paused. Didn't check in. Burnout doesn't really announce itself, does it? It whispered. "I just don't care about the stuff I used to anymore." Not 'cause I didn't wanna. I just didn't have anything left to give, you know? That really startled me. So I started doing something weird. It was uncomfortable. That really freaked me out. I just started saying no. Quiet. Not rude, just straightforward. Just being honest. No. I'm not able at this moment. No. I really need a break. No. I don't have it today. It just felt bad from the start. It felt like I was blowing some test I didn't even know I was taking. "Everyone would just think I was weak." But the world didn’t fall apart that day. Folks got used to it. A few of them understood. Some just didn't get it. And you know what? That was fine. I figured out that being caring doesn't mean you have to destroy yourself in the process. It's about knowing your limits. It's really about valuing yourself. You can be kind without getting drained. It’s possible to support others without sacrificing your own well-being. It's totally possible to care deeply about things without letting it drain all your energy. Burnout really showed me something important: You know, rest isn't something you have to earn. It's not a prize for working hard. It's okay to slow down; nobody needs your permission. It's totally okay to not give everyone all of yourself. When that heavy feeling creeps in, it can make everything feel a bit much. I paused. I'm here. I asked: “I wonder if I have enough energy for this.” It's like, when you give too much of yourself, and totally forget your own needs, that's not healthy. That's not strength. You know, that really sounds like self-neglect. I'm not going to mix those up anymore. It's true, we often put others first and forget about ourselves. Remember, you deserve care and attention too.
