Stopped wasting energy on people who didn't ask for help

Quick summary

Amanda spent years trying to change people who never asked for help. After learning to shift identities and focus on those actually seeking guidance, they discovered how to steward their attention and resources more effectively.

I always knew I wanted to help people but I really didn't know how. I ended up wasting years trying to change people who never asked for my help.

Once I realized I could use my experience to help those you were actually looking for guidance, everything shifted. I'd learned the tools I needed to shift identities, including my own.

I now know how to properly steward my attention to the things I can control and save my resources for those you actually want my help.
