Realists are just pessimists.
You should be an optimist even if you are faking it. To lift others up.
Mate, I’m barely lifting myself up certain days, can I get a break from being responsible for others’ self-development, dunno, at least half the days?
You’re not responsible for their self development. This is a morale thing.
Trust me it’s easier to pick yourself up for the whole team than it is for just yourself.
Maybe next time you ride the bus, imagine that you’re a background character in someone else’s struggle, and how you hold yourself will be absorbed by their subconscious. Maybe just by holding yourself the right way, you can make everyone on the bus just slightly more ready for the day.
Who is stopping you from taking a break? My hot take is just a general recommendation, especially for people you love.
Real life and responsibilities stop me, my man. Also mental health management. But thanks for asking.
