Yes, please. I’ll take both.

Live with one foot firmly planted in order and one firmly planted in chaos. Jordan B. Peterson, 12 rules for life

If you’re tired of starting over, stop giving up. Anonymous

I sometimes push myself until I burn out. Then I clear my plate of everything and recover. Inevitably, I get bored and start looking for the next challenge. I don’t like this pattern. Push, burn out fast, say no to everything, repeat. It’s not sustainable, and it doesn’t offer the growth I crave.

How do we cultivate steady growth instead of staggered, stunted growth? The trick is to have one foot in and one foot out. Be fully engaged with challenge and comfort, hustle, and rest.

Work your ass off, and then Netflix and chill.

I want to kick ass and then disengage and play/rest. I want to live in safety and challenge. I don’t want all of one and none of the other. I want both.
