LeBron James: “The cars, the jewelry, and all the other dumb shit don’t matter. It means absolutely nothing. I see a lot of these young kids get so unfocused about stuff that is so material. They can lose their focus. Worry about the game and everything will take care of itself.”

It’s not just seeing suffering that's painful. It’s hurting for others while feeling unable to help. There’s a term for that helplessness: empathic distress. Over time, it leads to burnout and withdrawal. If you're overwhelmed and exhausted by a heavy heart, you are not alone.
