Summer 18: Checkpoint- The Brilliance of a Balanced Hustle

As we’ve moved full-circle into Summer, and August has peddled in as the renowned month of global rest, let’s chat a thing or two about balancing our hustles. That in between living it up in the sun, grueling with goals, party chasing, and chasing money that we’ve kept our quality of life in check.

Have you realized: Summer is usually where projects and goals get pushed to the back burner until Autumn? Have you sidelined your 2018 game plans just to keep up with the Summer social life? It all starts with an attempt to redeem yourself from a seasonal burnout, but now you’re just chilling with complacency. You’ve been too overloaded from the first half of this year and the unveiling of your fatigue has caused your goals to fall to the wayside.

Or maybe you’re the mad hustler type, who’s yet to take a rejuvenation break. You’ve kept pedaling through exertion, missing out on all the Summer fun and fascination that keeps your life and inspirations flowing. Living through that “I’ll sleep when I’m dead” and “Work hard, hustle harder” syndrome. Failing to take advantage of the down time that’ll churn out fresh ideas and awaken your creative juices.

Society Beware: Balance yourself out.

As you get your life popping, pursuing dope careers, and catch that cash, we’ve got to harmonize our lives and stop to catch our breathe too! Take a day and live. Clear your head, ease your thoughts, chill if you need to. One of the best things you can do for yourself is take a YOU day for recharge purposes. Please, don’t let your grind defeat the purpose of your hustle.

Other days, you’ve got to maximize the hustle, ascend the game plan and go full throttle.

Taking breaks and going full speed work one in the same ladder. Hustling in balance is necessary, and finding this brilliance is where you’ll fulfill opportunities that allow your dreams to be built.

This by realizing that the success of our hustles come deeply swayed by the lifestyles that we allow for ourselves. Unless you’re a cyborg of some sort, it is anatomically and psychologically impossible for you to hustle without balancing it all out. Say it with me: Stop. Go. Rest. Repeat.

Aligning with self-care, and a little bit of self-control, will allow you to stay full spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially.

Balance is what equals out to the brilliance behind every hustle.

Happy Hustling (in balance),
