    Are you always about pushing yourself?

    I'm a type A personality and a perfectionist. I unfortunately do not cut myself or anyone around me any slack. I do attempt to ease up a bit, but when I do I am like a tiger on crac inside a cage. Sooner or later I have to release the beast.
    But hopefully with age comes wisdom and I'll learn to slow down and smell the flowers, instead of trampling all over the garden.

    You have to have balance in life. Don't sweat the small stuff - most of it is out of your control.

    Pushing as a form of motivation to get sh*t done - yes.

    I recently mentioned to my daughter that I am a reluctant "A" type personality. I would much rather be a "B", "C", or "D" type personality, but those types generally do not make enough money to live the lifestyle that I am providing to my family at this time. So, I have to push myself each and every day. Would much rather lounge on the couch all day than work, but that does not pay the bills.

    Keep calm, enjoy the little things, and laugh.

    I push myself professionally - at work.
    And physically - Working out, preparing for mud runs.

    Pushing yourself is always better than pulling yourself.
