The Cost of Constant Hustle

There’s nothing wrong with hustle.

But if you never stop pushing, eventually something breaks - your body, your mind, or your purpose.

Burnout isn’t weakness. It’s a sign something needs to shift.

The real strength? Knowing when to pause, reset, and rebuild.

When the hustle finally pauses… that’s when the real work begins.

The immune system exhales.
The body catches up on years of restoration.
And the emotions you’ve suppressed?

The grief. The fear. The anger.
