Chris Widener - Success and Leadership Quote for Oct 11/21

You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by. Yes, but some of them are golden only because we let them slip.
~Sir James M. Barrie

There is a time to work and a time to rest. Since most of my subscribers tend to be hard chargers who work hard for great gains in their lives, most of you fall in the category of those who could learn a little “rest lesson.” Rest is so very important! The body was designed with a need for rest. It is designed to be able to work extremely hard but then the body needs a break! We also need to give a break to our minds. If we truly want to be successful long-term and work at maximum output levels, then it is true that we need to regularly take time off from our work and thinking to let our minds and bodies be idle.

Action Point: Take some time today, this week, or this weekend to be purposefully idle for the sake of regeneration. Just go sit in the sun or take a long walk through the woods or anything that would be considered a “waste of time.” Begin to regularly schedule these “golden moments.” In the long run, you will find yourself even more successful.
