Sometimes we try to do too much and maybe we bite off more than we can chew. This can be a double-edged sword. It can swing and help us cut through adversity, or it can swing back and hurt us or those close to us. When working towards whatever our goals or priorities are we HAVE to find balance and know when it's time to cut some of the fat off. 

Just like fitness./health everything is a choice. It's on every individual to decide for themselves what they want. You want to lose weight, burn fat, get stronger, run faster, jump higher....than you need to do the work and work towards those goals as progressively and efficiently as possible. Don't waste your efforts; work hard, but work smart (or learn along the way)
