Have you ever felt that way? You are doing your best, but so exhausted you can’t possibly do well?

Do you find yourself reading one self-improvement article after the other, all saying just keep working as hard as you possibly can?

Because Elon Musk works 120 hours per week, you should?

You’re not Elon and neither am I.

I’d rather improve things here on Earth than create a Mars colony. Fascinating reading material, but sorry, not interested in participating in creating Pioneer Ranch Condo Community on Mars.

Advocates for working your ass off until you pass out have forgotten the significance of doing your best, and no more.

If you’ve depleting your own cup, you’re dehydrated. And let me remind you, we are mostly made of water.

“Under any circumstances always do your best, no more and no less.”

-Don Miguel Ruiz in The Four Agreements

Always doing your best helps you to respect yourself and accept yourself.
