I don’t know about everyone else but sometimes I feel like I am so busy trying to do everything and be there for everyone that I need to take a step back and remember it’s okay to, “DO LESS.” And then sometimes I want to change a situation and make things happen and I have to remind myself you need to “DO MORE”.
