Shauna Niequist Quotes

I Believed That Work Would Save Me, Make Me Happy, Solve My Problems; That If I Absolutely Wore Myself Out, Happiness Would Be Waiting For Me On The Other Side Of All That Work. But It Wasn't. On The Other Side Was Just More Work. More Expectations, More Responsibility. I'd Trained A Whole Group Of People To Know That I Would Never Say No, I Would Never Say "this Is Too Much". I Would Never Ask For More Time Or Space, I Would Never Bow Out. And So They Kept Asking, And I Was Everyone's Responsible Girl.
