You don't owe anyone anything. Specially your time.
Just started reading Mastery, a book written by the same author as 48 Laws of Power. After just a few minutes, I was reminded how much power I have in doing the things I love, and how much of it I freely give to others. Much of this is due to being nice, or generous.
Unfortunately, when I do this, I end up following threads that are unrelated to my passion and work. And rarely does that benefit my goals in the long run.
Time is limited, and I need to be better at managing it to ensure I keep working towards becoming the best version of myself everyday.
