CONVERSATION Starter
Obstacles, again. What if the obstacle is "too many opportunities"? We often want to take on more than we can handle because our skills or passion are a match. Sometimes doing it all works, more often it leaves us either stressed or leaves conflicting, or impeding, "interests" short of our best efforts. What are the considerations when confronting the obstacle of too many interests? Are you taking care of you first? Will the world end if you say "No"? Discuss.
