📮 Thoughtful Departure:
Life’s marathon may have you sprinting on the express lane, but always remember to find a turn-off before the ultimate breakdown. So, pace yourself – even if it’s at a “killing pace” today, find your pit lane tomorrow – because endurance isn’t sprinting nonstop; it’s knowing when to just keep running without tripping over your own ambitions. 🌟
Thanks for sprinting by, dear reader.
