Sometimes, the most valuable lessons in life come from difficult experiences. What’s one lesson you had to learn the hard way, and how has it shaped you? I’d love to hear your story and what you took away from it.

The hardest lesson I learned the hard way was understanding the importance of setting boundaries. Early in my career, I used to say yes to every task, project, or request, thinking it would make me a reliable team member. But eventually, I realized I was stretching myself thin and burning out. It wasn’t until I hit a breaking point that I understood the power of saying no and setting boundaries. Now, I know my limits and prioritize my well-being, and it’s made me not only happier but also more productive.
