Being Tired Isn’t an Excuse

"I'm tired."

Guess what?

So is everyone else.

That includes anyone who's ever gone out and done anything of true significance.

All of history's greatest feats were accomplished by tired people.

It's the default state for anyone doing anything worthwhile.

Get used to it.

Being tired isn't your excuse to not execute.

If you're working hard to build yourself and your life into something extraordinary...

You're supposed to be tired.

The real magic happens when you push yourself past the point of being tired.

It's when you think you can't take another step but you do.

It's when you're running on empty but muster enough energy to get it done anyways.

High achievers don't leave anything left in their tank.

They understand that in order to reach their goals...

Their effort has to go beyond what their energy level is.

Success comes down to your ability to manufacture energy when it isn't there.

...and once you've pushed yourself past that point...

You'll come to realize that being tired is far more of a mental limitation than an actual physical one.

Train yourself to empty your tank to absolute zero and keep moving.

Nothing less will get it done.
