Mark Twain didn’t play around with his priorities. And I appreciate his bluntness.
His advice was brutal but true:
“Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.”
It’s like watching someone chase a cat that never wanted their attention in the first place.
Stop doing that.
- If someone can’t match your energy, redirect it.
- Your time is a currency, so don’t let people treat it like spare change.
Be the cat.
