We've been taught that anything worth getting is worth working really hard for and powering through. That may actually not be the case, as we'll sense it in our own lives. Sometimes you're working hard, that's good, but then if you start to force things, that's when things break. It's patrick mc ginnis who came up with the term, or at least first to ever publish it, ever anywhere, the term pomo, the fear of missing out. And he had brought into this toxic view of work where he said, look, if people weren't working all the time, pulling al nites all the time they must not have a very successful job
We tend to equate success with working hard and think anything worth getting is worth working for, no matter the cost. But once we reach the level success we've dreamt about, we’re too burnt out to even enjoy it. Does this resonate with you? If so, pause and listen to today's conversation with Greg McKeown, author of the new book Effortless. Greg will teach you how to prioritize and reframe your priorities to make things easy allowing you to finally focus on what matters most. If you are constantly living inside your last edge of energy, this conversation is the reprogramming you need so can finally stop wearing your burn out as a badge of honor.
