My Mom took me to the airport the other day and she said she ran into a friend of hers who follows the Daily Hustle religiously…
Apparently, she enjoys it enough to read or listen on a daily basis, but she had a peculiar question for my Mom that definitely got me thinking…
“Is Eric ever going to give us a break? It’s always GO GO GO… Can’t we rest every once in a while?”
Of course we can rest every now and again. Rejuvenation is necessary in order to optimally perform to the best of our ability… Yet, if we are talking extended breaks and that rest turns into retirement, then the answer is…
NO.
You ever wonder why people retire then die shortly there after?
We as human beings were designed to move our bodies and exercise our brains. Both the body and mind need constant stimulation in order to properly function. If we take that stimulation away, blood stops flowing and the body and brain stop working…
“But Byrnes, I am 70 years old and have worked my entire life to enjoy retirement.”
I get it and I am not trying to poo poo on your bridge game or Friday night Bingo contests… Yet, unless you find something that gets you physically and psychologically fired up on a daily basis, you will be riding a one way bod sled to Death City, and if you don’t make it all the way there, you will probably wish you had…
Look, I don’t mean to get morbid on you, but our time on this earth is limited, and eventually, this ride we call life is going to come to an end…
That said, let’s make sure we go ALL IN, ENJOY THE RIDE and guess what?!?!?!?!
We can rest when we are dead. 👻
