A new week reminder to invest your time more wisely

This week, be more selective about:
Whom you share your time and space with
Whom you show your vulnerable side to
What situations to react to

Your time and energy is limited. You can either spend them pursuing your dreams and working on personal growth or squander them on dead relationships or unimportant tasks.

Don’t be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.
