AmiSight 8/22: The Privilege of Chosen Exhaustion

“What a privilege it is to be exhausted by a challenge you chose for yourself”

There is a difference between exhaustion that drains you and exhaustion that fills you. The first is from unwanted obligations and the second comes from challenges you chose for yourself.

When you set big goals and push yourself, you’re also signing up for the fatigue that comes with them. Yes, it’s hard. But it’s also meaningful.

The journey itself is a privilege. Not everyone has the freedom to pick their challenges. Some may be weighed down by circumstances that are out of their control. So when you find yourself close to giving up, pause and appreciate the fact that you are investing yourself into something you believe in.
