We hold the reins to our own boundaries, energy, time, and health. It's like being the gatekeeper of a precious resource – our vitality. Others, like administrators or employers, naturally seek to maximize their gains, akin to squeezing every last drop from our lemon. Yet, it's within our power to determine how much of ourselves we're willing to give.
Undoubtedly, they might feel let down when our output doesn't meet their expectations. After all, their revenue often hinges on leveraging our efforts. However, there's a tipping point where the cost outweighs the benefit. Perhaps taking every Tuesday morning off strikes a balance.
Recognizing this dynamic is crucial. Their primary objective isn't safeguarding our well-being; it's about capitalizing on our contributions to cover expenses. There's no need for resentment; it's simply the reality of the situation.
