The more successful you are, the less accessible you’ll become.
We react to this truth in two ways:
- Refuse to face this reality: Lead to burnout by trying to be there for all people
- Use our success to become more inaccessible than necessary. Unawareness becomes bliss.
Galatians 6:9-12
You can’t shut it all out.
You can’t take it all on.
Do for one what you wish you could do for everyone.
Myth: We have to be fair.
Truth: Fairness ended in the Garden of Eden
Don’t be fair. Be engaged.

- Go deep rather than wide
- Go long-term rather than short term
- Go time not just money
When we do for one, we often end up doing more for just one.

He described it as this: instead of just sending money to help someone, give of your time and physically be present in helping them.
He talked about it in the idea of missions and a couple of other contexts.
Does that help clarify it?
