“You need to take care of yourself because you matter as a human being first and foremost, but also you need to get yourself in order. If you are running around, putting out fires every single day, then you’re not going to be able to make any meaningful change because all you’re doing is reacting. You’ve got to be proactive and stop putting out fires all the time and start leading.”
