You don't have to try getting TIRED. It just happens by default.

It's amusing to realize how our bodies aren't made to hold, but to let go. You put in how much ever you want to, but over time it all goes out. To charge ourselves everyday, we depend on food. And we put quite some effort & time in growing it. Sometimes days, sometimes years & some rare ones over decades. But once you consume it over a meal, it's energy just lasts for a day tops. As an entrepreneur whose constantly looking outwards into the world trying to fix for efficiency, it's ironic seeing my own self go through this inefficient cycle every single day.

Spiralling down this thinking on a saturday afternoon, i realized something deeper. If I get tired by default, it means you get tired too. My customers get tired. So do my competition. If mine get tired, so does your competition. This realization hit different. Everyone that i share this world with gets tired & knowing this seemed like the advantage I needed in this lonely & challenging world of Entrepreneurship.

If we are counting success as the distance from where we were born to where we are buried, this perspective seemed to help cover some distance, if not help to go a little further. And that's what i wanted to share here with you.

It's about how long you go, though you know you will get TIRED. You will get Hurt. You will get scarred. You will keep consuming resources like you never imagined. It could be the money or the time or losing the precious moments of your life. Knowing all this, most never start. A few do but give up early. But the handful who stretch themselves go a lot lot further. And in those, the winner isn't the one whose running the extra mile, but the one who knows that others are going get TIRED & they just need to keep going.
