If you are like me, there are so many things that you want
to do that you just cannot do them all.
This means we have to prioritize and do those things that will help us
the most in achieving what we want in our professional and personal lives. To do this, we need to let go of those things
that are not helping us as much.
I am a board member in two professional associations. I like both associations and find them
beneficial. However, when I evaluate the
amount of time that I am putting into these associations and what I am getting
back, I am not getting a good return on my time investment.
I have decided to remain a member of one association, but
not run for another office. The other
association I have decided to drop after my term ends. Even as a member, never mind an officer, I am
putting more into it than I am getting out of it.
There is another association that is interested in having me
on the board. This association has
already benefited me greatly and I think this position would help me even
more. In addition, since this association
has given me so much, I want to give something back.
To take on this new responsibility, however, I will have to
let go of the others. We cannot keep
everything! Sometimes we have to let go.
