“You need to make sure that you know where you are putting your
priorities, your time and your energy, because you shouldn’t be
doing everything. You’re not going to do everything well. You
need to pick what’s in your best interest, what’s in your value
set and what’s going to feed your spirit, or fill your cup,
versus what the world seems to be telling you, you should be
doing.” — Carolyn Robistow [0:03:25]
