If you ever watch a hockey game, you’ll notice players have only two locations: they’re either skating on the ice or sitting on the bench. Life is like this too; you’re either out there participating or taking time to reflect. And taking time to reflect is just as important.
Reflecting, or sitting on the bench, is where experiences enter your soul, and adjustments get a chance to happen. Let this be a lesson to overachievers. Society needs you, and thank you for your service, but don’t forget to leave time for yourself.
Busy people often forget to relax and take it all in, a pity since all those efforts need to be put into perspective. So, although your contributions are incredibly important, it’s also good to sit and think.
