"Take it easy" is great advice...

If you want to be average.

Zero percent of the best in the world seek "balance".

People want freedom, but few are willing to earn it.

Discipline buys freedom.

Effort compounds.

If you want an extraordinary life, you can’t act like everyone else.

So no, don’t take it easy.

Don't listen to the masses.

Don't celebrate every weekend like you won a medal.

Work like your future depends on it.

And be okay being the exception...

If you want an exceptional life.
