You don't have to, nor should you try to do everything alone. ⁠
If you catch yourself feeling guilting about delegating, remember these things:⁠
⁠
🌷Perhaps someone else wants an opportunity to show off their skills!⁠
🌷Maybe others could do it better an improve things?⁠
🌷You deserve a break every once in a while too.⁠
🌷Self reliance is important, but If you're in a situation where you are forced to be everything to everyone, it could be time to reevaluate.⁠
