Recently I had a full two days of sickness. I hate being sick… but I was reminded of something. REST is still the best healer.

I am a worker. I can start in the morning and end the following morning. I can go from idea inception to completion over night. I love to work… there is something inside of me that is extremely satisfied by it. I actually have nights that my wife has agreed to let me work as late as I desire. I am a worker.

The problem with work is that it’s the opposite of rest. I have an unusual need for sleep, that I sometimes deprive myself of. I do my best after about ten hours of sleep. I know it’s a lot, but it provided me my best and most productive days.

These are in war with one another.

Well, like I said a few weeks about I was sick for two days. The first day I came into the office late, stayed for an hour and then realized (by the encouragement of my administrative assistant) that it wasn’t going to happen. So I want home.

All I did was sleep for a day and a half. I’d go to sleep for a few hours, wake up and watch some netflix in my bed on my iPad and go back to sleep. It was refreshing and healing.

Let me encourage you to rest! You need it. Rest will make you more effective!

Blessings.
