You cannot optimize one part of life indefinitely without another part eventually sending the bill.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Optimising one part of life indefinitely means underfunding the rest, and the underfunded parts do not complain until they fail. Bodies, marriages, friendships, and curiosity are all patient for a long time, and then they are not. The bill arrives from whichever area was quietest longest.

Check which part of your life has been running on nothing for the longest stretch. Not the loudest problem, the quietest one. Put something back into it this week, even a small amount.
