Increase what you can carry without increasing what you complain about.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Taking on more is a real achievement, and it comes with a hidden test. It is possible to carry a heavier load and make everyone around you aware of it constantly, which cancels out much of the value and makes the additional capacity unpleasant for everybody. The version that counts is being able to hold more without the holding becoming the topic.

Notice how much of your conversation is about how much you are handling. Try a week without mentioning it. If the load is genuinely too heavy, that is worth saying clearly once rather than signalling continuously.
