Don’t waste energy on a problem you don’t intend to solve.
There are many problems in the world. Not all of them are yours. But almost all of them will try to convince you that they are.
Whether they’re the problems of other people that they try to dump on you or the problems of the world that try to invade your personal bubble, the only effect most of these problems will have on you is to drain your energy. They’ll kill your mood, distract you, and make you miserable – all without you making a dent in the actual problem itself.
Every second you spend thinking about a problem that you don’t truly intend to engage with is a wasted second. A portion of your life drained away by the most relentless vampire in existence. Don’t let it happen.
