Sometimes you have to go hard. It’s easy to say we need balance, but sometimes we don’t.

Letting yourself go hardcore on something you care about.

That moment when you’re so into a project, or a skill that you can’t stop thinking about it.
You’re dreaming about it.
You’re reading about it at midnight.
You’re watching hours of YouTube videos about everything related to it
You’re taking notes during your workouts.

That’s not unhealthy. That’s momentum.
That’s curiosity doing its job.
