There's a challenge to staying the course: burnout.
We must create sustainable careers. That's what makes life worth living: doing something we love in balance with what's most important: our parents (however we define them), our brothers and sisters, family, children (also subject to personal definition), our board of directors, those we look after, our neighbors, our friends and lovers/partners, our home.
Our selves, our spirit, our faith.
We must fill our wells, daily if possible, so that we can be present for work.
Our source of power must be activated, or else we're empty husks at work, grabbing for sustenance. I felt it: grasping for air as my lungs shut down, blocked veins in my legs so I could not move. I jacked my body up overdoing, overachieving often beyond the bounds of human possibility (and many times of my own design.)
I'm learning to honor the body's limitations and 24 hours per day (part of which is designed for rest.)
Sustainable living and working.
