"Burnout is not a badge of honor to wear with pride. It's a flashing warning signal to say that something in your life is fundamentally out of balance."
"Success is not measured by how many hours you put in at work or the number of plates you're juggling. Success is the feeling of fulfillment in life, having energy for the people you love and the passions that fill up your own cup."
“Your most important job in the entire world is to keep your fountain flowing. Remember, you're not a human doing; you're a human being, deserving of rest and rejuvenation."
