There is a friend of mine that we used to call the “Unstoppable”. This guy can go days without sleeping I used to envy this guy because I could not do things that he did not until he landed in the hospital for an unknown reason. We thought it was a very minor thing until it was evidence that it wasn’t minor. It was a great issue because lack of sleep compounded over the years and he nearly cost my friend his Life, but he was able to survive it with the help of the medical practitioners. After what happened to my friend I looked into why sleep is very important ever since then I’ve been trying to adjust.
Normally, I’m not the kind of guy who used to sleep early before I used to sleep very late and when I had some health issues too I realized that lack of sleep is also terrible and it’s also affecting me directly and indirectly. If you’re my friend first thing you notice about me is that I used to sleep early and no matter the task you are trying to give me I will sleep early, this also comes with an advantage, It helps me to wake up early too, this simple shift has changed my life. I can see the evidence now and even at 30 I’m still feeling like 24. apart from the fact that I used to eat healthy and work out every day, sleeping early also contributed to my energy.
You are the most important person in your life. Never forget that.
As any young man, we must hustle and grind this allows us to do ridiculous jobs and allows us to take crazy risks just like my friend. As a young man, we don't sleep early and we do it because of our hustle but in the process of finding wealth or trying to find stability in life, we tend to compromise our health. We have the belief that not sleeping early should also be part of the grind which can be good and also bad at times, we have so many damaging beliefs that do not help.
When we are young, we indeed have the power and that’s the time we can build and our body can take many hits but we must always know when to stop. We must prioritize our health over anything. When you get to 30 and above, you must find a way to relieve the pressure on ourselves because no amount of money we are trying to acquire if we can’t live to enjoy It is meaningless. We must prioritize our health as a young man trying to survive we must also remember that we are not a machine.
Health is wealth
Don’t be like my friend “Mr Unstoppable” who nearly lost his life because he thought he was unstoppable and he could do anything with his body but the truth is that energy is not free. There’s always a price for it and the more energy use the more time you need to rest. I know it is very important we hustle and grind but we must never forget that the most important thing in our life is ourselves and we should be our priority. We must prioritize our health and not let our bodies and our health take so much beating. It’s going to be there waiting for us at the end.
Thanks for your time.
