Do you feel Burnt out? You are off your purpose.

“Burnout is an indication that you are now clearly off your purpose.” – Grant Cardone.
As I started reading another chapter in the book I am reading by GC I had to have a good laugh to start. He was talking about Business School. And the abbreviation is BS! I think most of you know what that is but for those who don’t it also stands for Bull Shit. I hope that made you smile or giggle or full out laugh when you read it.
I must agree with Mr. Cardone. I don’t believe in the nonsense of getting burnt out when you work to hard. Me getting up at 5:45am Monday through Friday. Doing my @liketu post. Checking all things Hive. Doing my CTPX, my ListNerds, checking my engagement, replying to replies. Getting showered and out the door by 6:30ish. At my employment for around 7:10 for the business to start at 7:30.
I work till 5pm. Driver home, have supper and do house chores and bed by 10:30. Repeat 5 days a week.
Do I ever feel burnt out? Absolutely not! Why? Because I have a purpose in my life. A very strong purpose. With a wife almost 9 years into her cancer battle, with her days numbered, I have to be the best I can be, and do the best in everything I do. I have the purpose of supporting her, myself, and that is done by giving Hive, my employer and my wife everything I have. And I feel super about it every day.
I have no reason to feel burned out. I only feel super positive about everything I am doing and the goals I have set in life.
Feeling burnt out or mentally exhausted has absolutely nothing to do with how hard you work, how much effort you put in but everything to do with what you are not doing in life. When you lose your purpose. I can look back and reflect on my life and I can see times when I had that burnt out feeling. There were times when I had no purpose. I had no relationships. I drank too much, I did everything in my power to not want to be successful. I cannot tell you the reason. Chemical imbalance in my brain?
One thing I can tell you, what I truly believe it was, it was all in my mindset. I am proof positive of that. As all my regular readers know that at the beginning of 2022 I made the mental decision that I was going to become 100 percent positive in everything I do. No ifs, ands, or buts. I sat myself down and took a long hard look at myself and figured it out. No matter what life was throwing at me I was going to be positive, find the glass half full and run with it. Being positive not the glass of water. Lol
I know some people reading this think I am full of it. And I used to be one of those people when looking at others.
I also know I quote and get inspiration from GC a lot. But it may not be what you think. It is not that I think he is the holy grail. It is because what he talks about makes sense to me. It aligns with being Mr. Positive. I can relate.
If you are coming to Hive everyday and doing one post a day and you are not feeling it. It being the love, the votes the engagement, and you are starting to feel the ‘burn out’ then do more. Bump it up to two posts a day. Are you engaging with others? Find authors, read their works, leave comments, meaningful comments. If someone comments on your post, jump on it, reply, give a great reply.
I know that doing more probably goes against everything you have been told or taught growing up in dealing with burn out. But from personal experience I can tell you it works. The more I do, the more invigorated my brain feels.
I will wrap up this post with a paragraph quote.
“What Really is Burnout?”
“Existential burnout sounds like a severe condition, but it’s simply a loss of meaning in your daily work. When you aren’t able to see the connection between your efforts and their impact, it’s easy to lose your motivation.”
Now for my new favorite saying:
“If that’s what’s got you down, the answer is clear. When you start feeling depleted, take some Vitamin P (for purpose)!”
Fracking awesome sauce. Love it. Vitamin P!
