Guard Your Battery

Stop draining your light on the wrong people and start choosing yourself

Guard Your Battery

Why are some people so attractive just by standing there?

It’s not because they are "likable," but because they don’t need everyone to like them. I realized later that truly charismatic people allow themselves to be criticized, but they never criticize themselves. They never try to please the world; instead, the world stops to watch them.

Our energy is actually quite limited, like a phone battery—you only have so much when you wake up each day. If you desperately try to attract everyone from the start of the day, the first few people will drain you. By the time the right person appears, you’ll be exhausted.

So, sisters, if someone makes you doubt yourself, makes you feel inferior, or makes you struggle, how can they possibly be the right person? The right person doesn't need you to force yourself to hold on.

The most important person is always yourself. > "If you are also learning to save your energy for the right person, give yourself a heart."
