There should be some seasons in your life and career that are so insanely busy that you almost explode. Digging in and doing the hard work for 16 hours a day shouldn’t be a normal thing, but it shouldn’t be a never thing either.
Sometimes it’s go time.
Sometimes you need to burn it hard for a few weeks or months to finish the project, or launch the project, or prepare the project, or do something amazing.
Having the opportunity to work that long and that hard is an amazing gift. Accept it and work till it hurts…and then keep going.
Will power, stamina, persistence, passion, follow through, reliability…all these words apply. Pick your favorite and let it encourage you.
There will come a season when you shouldn’t work 16 hours a day (and there’s a different set of difficulties that come with learning how to turn on the slow-down switch….I’ll save that for another post).
But if you haven’t had some long days, weeks and months in a while, start looking for them.
If you’re in the middle of one of these seasons, keep pressing on. Keep doing the hard work that no one else sees but you. It’s worth it.
