Fatigue makes cowards of us all.
How a man handles fatigue is a true test of his character. I’ve had periods in my life where I have never had to be tired. I could sleep when I wanted, wake when I wanted, work when I felt like it, and watch TV the rest of the time. I avoided fatigue, but I ended up a shell of myself: the walking dead in a way. I’ve recently changed career paths and with that change I made a trade. I bought fatigue and found out that it’s a package deal. With fatigue, I also got career satisfaction, a stay-at-home mother (my wife), training and professional growth, eventual freedom from debt, and the personal purification that comes from sacrifice immediate wants.
Sacrifice brings for the blessings of heaven.
Fatigue is a privilege.
Note: My apologies for the publishing delay. I had a scheduling conflict last night.
