More money, more power, more achievements.

But I actually think it's cyclical, right?

So I think it goes in cycles.

So we have these seasons of growth where we, you know, I want to write a book.

I want a promotion.

I want to launch a new company, right?

And you nurture your inner and outer environment.

You have this beautiful peak moment, right?

Where if we're using the plant metaphor, it's like the petals come out.

It's gorgeous, right?

but then the seasons change and we wind down and we go back underground.

And so I think it is perfectly fine to sprint in the growth periods, right?

Like I cannot look you in the face and say that writing a book did not require me to sprint because it absolutely required me to sprint.

And then, you know, after the push of the book coming out, I went back underground and I kind of nurtured myself again before I decided to rise and take aim again.

And

I think allowing that cycle, allowing ourselves to be in right relationship with our bodies as we are ambitious is so important and really important for burnout prevention.

That's the part that gets me.

It's like, we run whole businesses while doing this too.

Yeah, I love this question.

Well, first of all, we have to redefine success for ourselves, right?
