The scarcity mindset - not enough for everyone - that has been ingrained in us from when we are a child resulted in me being a person who was determined, driven, hard working, diligent but this A-type personality also comes with stress and burnout. Metaphorically burning the candle at both ends. Many-a-time we push ourselves even when putting the foot off the pedal may actually have been beneficial.
This story from #DerekSivers on Tim Ferriss’s awesome podcast makes us pause and ask ourselves whether taking it easy sometimes may give a very similar result. I first heard this story from the my partners in Australia - Shawn Callahan and Mark Schenk from Anecdote.
