@tavelarocque: day 68 of the @higherupwellness speak your mind challenge killed by just one blow. the older i live, the smaller i grow. what am i? a candle. and it wasn't killed by the wind. it was killed by the wick, the thread hidden inside it, the same thread that let it give light in the first place. the thing that made it burn is the thing that burned it out. and you have a wick too. the ambition, the intensity, the fire people admire you for, it's the same thing using you up without you noticing. the gift and the cost are the same thread. so burn on purpose, or you'll burn out by accident. #burnout #discipline #philosophy #mindset
