Quotation

“To protect your energy.
It's okay to cancel a commitment.
It's okay to not answer that call.
It's okay to change your mind.
It's okay to want to be alone.
It's okay to take a day off.
It's okay to do nothing.
It's okay to speak up.
It's okay to let go.
Guard Your Energy, and Protect Your Peace!”

Ralph Smart
