This is personal! Both for me and you. Success is about intentionality. Very little in life just "happens". So, as we discuss different topics and thoughts, let's have this in mind - intentionality! Because we all want to succeed and success is intentional!
Taking a break from our regular work is, in part, designed to make us enjoy that same work even more. Why do we keep jumping on the spinning hamster wheel? Some things we just have to learn on our own.

Just like an umbrella or awning, authority is designed to take the brunt of the storm for the benefit of others.
