choose your game.

The entire world trains us that our lives - - - our success, our livelihoods, our relationships, our results - - - depend on relentlessly showing up every day, in the same way, regardless of energy, intuition, or health (mental, physical, spiritual). That if we want results - - - whatever it is we might be aiming for - - - we have to work harder, longer, more intensely than everyone else. Even ourselves, yesterday.

And that's true, if the game you're playing is about beating other people. If the game is oriented around being “better”, faster, stronger, richer, more “accomplished” than others. 

But if you orient your life around being great at what you do, around being strong (period), abundant (period), resourced (period), and in this way, the highest version of yourself, then relentlessly "showing up" while ignoring what your mind, body, and soul are saying is a trap.

“Better than others" has no finish line because other people keep moving.

Becoming “the best version of yourself" has no competition because no one else can play.

In this game, rest isn't just recharging. It's a necessary ingredient - - - part of the work - - - to becoming those exactly that. It provides the space, the time, the medium to understand what that even means to you. You can’t become something you don’t understand.
