No one can care about your career as much as you can. no carer counsellor can care about your career as much as you can. No boss can care about your career. Certainly a company can’t care about your career as much as you do. It’s not their career. It’s not about them. Your career is about you. It’s just a simple fact of human nature that you’re the one that can care about it the most — or should. We can all be altruistic. We can all do good works for people. We can go out and we can volunteer and help our families and take care of our parents — our elderly parents — or whatever is required. We can do those altruistic things, but at our very heart we have to take care of ourselves. I always like to say that we can’t help others until we’re at a position of being stable and in a good position ourselves. if we try to do that we end up further diminishing ourselves. If we’re constantly putting out work as a caregiver and not servicing our own needs at all, we will burn out. Who was talking about burnout the other day — before we started? You will burn out. You simply use up your energy in trying to do that, because you’re never refilling the well. You’re never refilling that tank.
