'No one frames a house on their own. The same is true for our lives.'
Not because it's heavy or hard to do. Because doing it alone was never the smart way.
Same goes for what you're carrying in your head. Reaching for a hand isn't weakness. It's just the smart way to build.
You call in a sparky when it's not your trade. Your mind is no different. Sometimes you call in someone who knows that job.
You were never meant to do it all solo.
‘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.
‘You're not made of steel. You just get treated like you are — mostly by yourself.’
You're not made of steel. You just get treated like you are — mostly by yourself.
You'd never run a machine flat out with no maintenance and expect it to last. Somehow that's exactly what we ask of ourselves.
Easing off isn't going soft. It's how you keep standing.
’You service the ute. You maintain the tools. When did you last service the one running them?’
You service the ute. You maintain the tools. When did you last service the bloke running them?
We keep everything else running — the gear, the truck, the job. But the one person we never book in for a service is ourselves.
You're not made of steel. You just get treated like you are — mostly by yourself.
