Two sayings come to mind, "You can't do everything" and "Variety is the spice of life."

There is not enough time/energy/money to do everything. Life is short, pick and choose what you do and try to experience all the different things you can.

Once you let go of feeling like you need to do everything it's liberating. You can make your own path, but still do things you used to do as well.
