You cannot have it all: learn to be present Another principle of not succumbing to the fear of missing out is understanding that you cannot have it all. If there was one word that defines the world we live in—it’s ‘scarce’. Resources are scarce, relationships can be scarce and importantly, time is scarce. Because time is scarce, it is important to learn its value and realize that it’s a fact of life: we cannot have it all. When we choose to attend one event, we give up going to another. That is why it is important to learn how to be present.
