00:00:00.000 Why do people burn out?

00:00:00.920 I have a real fucking problem with the word burnout.

00:00:02.720 I believe burnout is self-inflicted.

00:00:04.980 Burnout is a perspective.

00:00:06.420 Because I've never been burnt out surfing.

00:00:09.400 Oh, I'm burnt out, I'm laying on the beach.

00:00:11.040 Why am I not burnt out, lay on the beach?

00:00:12.520 Because I tell myself laying on the beach is relaxing.

00:00:14.700 That's a choice of what meaning I give the activity.

00:00:17.960 So if you have purpose, you have a big why,

00:00:20.380 the how will not burn you out.

00:00:21.920 If you have meaning around the thing you're creating,

00:00:24.840 then the moments cannot burn you out

00:00:27.440 if you tell yourself they're part of the process.

00:00:29.820 Most people feel burnt out because they don't have clarity around their future.
