Listen Later

We have been taught that we have to grind it out and that we've gotta work hard. We think we’ve gotta be diligent and “team no sleep.” This whole grind mentality has thrown us into so much fatigue. I want you to know, as I have soon realized in my own life, that rest is indeed the superpower of the resilient.

If you are going to go the distance and be able to accomplish the things that you really want to achieve, you are going to have to put more emphasis on taking care of you. I will tell you, if you learn how to introduce rest into your lifestyle, you'll indeed be resilient and you will achieve in a very powerful way.
