"A mentor of mine told me once that to advance my career goals more expeditiously, I would need to learn how to be more selfish. But too often, I prioritize the welfare of everyone else on my team before myself. I don't mean this in an altruistic way. Moreover, I am a very nurturing person with a lot of empathy, and when I sense all is not well with a coworker, I'll give them my ear and counsel. But on occasion, this has interrupted my work. While I felt at the time, this was a priority, that of maintaining a positive morale in the workplace. But I have been steadily drawing boundaries and offering my counsel and support to my coworkers in our off hours rather than on the job."
