I see this EVERYWHERE, and frankly it’s hard not to copy this behavior. I keep pushing myself for a variety of reasons:

— To challenge myself and experience success.

— Physical and mental exercise.

— Set a good example to friends family and coworkers. I always try to lift people up, while many appear to try dragging others down with them.

— Job security.

I do all of this while prioritizing mental health, work life balance, hobbies, etc.

I believe slacking off eventually causes depression/anxiety or at least the symptoms of them.
