Burnout gets a bad rap.

Stress and overwhelm too.

But here’s the thing: big goals require you to stretch way beyond your comfort zone.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body,” Howard Thurman wrote. “But rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow! What a Ride!'”

A bit of burnout is a good thing.
