I hope this doesn't sound negative, it is a thought that I had and just felt good about it. I'm nothing. I'm cosmic dust but I enjoyed my life. (lemmy.world)

I find the idea of not expecting too much of oneself can be extremely liberating. Just let go of the stress, relax and enjoy life.

It's a shame that those people who most need to hear this message, won't get it.

What do you do about people who obligate you otherwise though?

I seem to find myself under managers like this all the time for example—unending, "I want you to rise up to the occasion"-types. Largely because they just yes-man whatever their bosses ask for without consideration to implementation.
