Being selfish is often seen as a flaw, but when it comes to your time, it’s essential. Time is the one resource you can’t get back, yet people expect you to give it away freely. Learning to set boundaries isn’t about being unkind; it’s about valuing yourself. Prioritizing your own growth, rest, and well-being isn’t selfish, it’s survival.

You don’t owe your time to everyone who asks for it. If you don’t protect it, others will waste it without a second thought. Focus on what truly matters to you. The more you respect your own time, the more others will learn to do the same.
