You get to be paid to help people. Never forget the privilege it is to be able to serve other people. And when you make it about yourself and you start over obsessing about yourself, you lose fulfillment and purpose. So, if you're in a burnout stage, focus on everything around you. If you feel less appreciated, give appreciation. Whatever you want more of in life, give it away first. – Dr. Craig Spodak
