Rest is a Massive Competitive Advantage for Success
Imagine a table set before you with an empty jar and various sizes of rocks.
Your objective is to fit as many of the rocks into the jar as possible.
If you start with the littlest pieces, the sand, and pebbles, then you won’t have the room for the bigger rocks.
But if you put all of the bigger and medium-sized rocks in first, you’ll find that you have plenty of room for the pebbles and sand.
Your life is no different.
Our priority should be on the “big rocks” in our lives. Our faith and Families. Everything else comes second and finds space in our day around these more essential things.
But sometimes, after a long day, the big rocks may also include resting when we could let ourselves do more, and that’s okay.
As you’re about to discover, resting, even while your competition continues to work, provides a significant leg up.
Stress + REST = growth
It would be easy for a busy person at the end of the day to say that they will fill their night with as much work as they have the extra time for.
But that would be a mistake.
