Energized AND Exhausted

“Build a life where you’re energized in the morning and exhausted at night.

Energized in the morning means you’re excited about the things you get to work on and the people you get to work on them with.

Exhausted at night means you gave your all to those things and people.

Your best life is built in that collision.” -Sahil Bloom

“This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.” -George Bernard Shaw

You need both energy AND exhaustion to have a successful day, and life.

If you’re energized in the morning, but not exhausted at night. That means you didn’t give it your all. Don’t let yourself off the hook. Do better tomorrow.

If you’re exhausted at night, but not energized in the morning, it means you’re not doing the work you’re meant to be doing. Spend time figuring out what that work is, immediately.
