Carry Only Yours: Five Distinctions Between What You Owe and Don't

There is a kind of exhaustion that sleep does not fix.It comes from carrying things that were never fully yours: other people's moods, imagined meanings, guilt without a clear wrongdoing, outcomes you could influence but never control, and discomfort you have mistaken for danger.Carry Only Yours offers a practical way to sort through that weight.At the center of the book is one simple question: Is this mine to carry?Through five clear distinctions, Kamaka Harvey shows how to separate: - what happened from what you decided it meant- guilt from actual wrongdoing- caring about someone from being responsible for them- your effort from the outcome- discomfort from genuine dangerThese distinctions are simple-but applying them can change the way you move through work, relationships, family, guilt, conflict, responsibility, and the expectations you place on yourself.This is not a book about becoming detached, selfish, or less responsible.It is about becoming more accurate.Because some things really are yours. Your choices. Your honesty. Your preparation. Your promises. Your repairs.And some things are not.The goal is not to carry less. The goal is to carry your part completely-and set the rest down.If you are capable, conscientious, dependable, and tired of feeling responsible for everything around you, Carry Only Yours will give you a question-and a framework-you can return to whenever the weight starts to build.
