‘Everything has a Load limit’

‘Everything has a load limit.’

"I'm at the end of my tether." You have heard this or said it in times when things are overlaoded. A tether only has so much length. Reach the end and it pulls taut. No amount of straining gives you another inch of rope.

That isn't weakness. It's a load limit, and everything that carries a load has one. Steel, timber, concrete, and yourself. You're not the exception.

Rest isn't weakness. It's maintenance. A tool left running hot burns out. You already know this. You've just never applied it to yourself.
