I worked without regard to my health for years before I crashed. I gave myself enough grace to turn off my alarm clock one day.

I slept 12 hours.

I didn’t turn my alarm clock back on, and slept for 12 hours a day, nearly every day, for 6 months. I was killing myself. I say screw the hustle. Work hard, and bring your “A” game, but, stop overextending yourself. Goals are important, but damn, it takes a LONG time to achieve the most important ones. It’s a marathon – pace yourself.

You’ll find your goals will come with a slow and steady pace.
