Are you the only person who can make things happen?

Do you feel like you are always pulled in different directions? Are you multi-talented or so busy that you are always needed? And if you just can’t do it, do you feel bad or guilty?

I wear several hats. When I’m not at the academy showing officers and recruits how to fire a weapon, I’m a paid musician. And when I’m not doing either of those things, I’m a chef at home, company picnic, somebody’s BBQ or dinner party. And what’s more, I’m always planning, coordinating or organizing something. Too much on the plate?

Is it OK to take a break for yourself and why do you feel bad when you do? who can fill your shoes?
