This is 5-Minute Friday, episode number 241, and you've got to appreciate the seasons of your life. What's up, everyone? This is Lewis Howes, and I'm very excited to talk about seasons. Right now, I'm going through an incredible season of my life, and a lot of people ask me about balance. How do you balance being a busy entrepreneur, creating new things, focusing on your podcast, your business, having your team, working out, being in relationships. How do you balance everything

in your life? And I tell people that you can't, you can't balance everything in your life all the time because life has seasons. When I played football, we would build up a preseason into the season and then the postseason. And then there would be a recovery phase. If I was to play a playoff game every week, I wouldn't be able to walk today and I wouldn't be able to think at all because my brain would be so damaged. And I wouldn't be able to think at all because my brain would be so damaged. If guys never took a break and never had an off season, they'd never be able to prepare for the season and the playoffs. I want you guys to think about where you're at currently in your life. Are you in a transition?

Did you just go through a job where you didn't appreciate it and now you're looking for a new job? Did you get through a relationship and now you're single? Are you in a new relationship? Are you building a business? Think about what season of life you're in and recognize it for a moment. I just want you to take inventory on it and realize that you're exactly where you need to be right now. You may think you want to be a farther ahead. You may think you're not doing as well as you want, but it's all good because life is about seasons. Right now, I am in the middle of one of the busiest, most overwhelming moments of my adult business career. And that's because I have a book that's out right now that I'm putting all of my energy and everything into. And over the last year, I've been planning, preparing, training my health, my mind, my

relationships, doing whatever it takes to prepare for what I call the playoff season. Now, if I was in the playoffs the entire year leading up to this moment, I would not have the energy to perform at a high level. My body, my mind would be a wreck. So I want you to look at what season you're in. There are seasons to prepare. There are seasons to train. There are seasons to recover in your business, your relationships, your health, your life.

And it's okay if you're not at the top of your game every single moment of every single year. There are seasons and I want you to learn about how to recover and how to transition and reevaluate your visions and your dreams. Because once we achieve our dreams, it's time to evaluate and see what we want next. And that's okay. Right now I'm in a harvest season where I'm going above and beyond harder than I've ever pushed my mind and my body. I'm staying up later. I'm doing more interviews. I'm creating more. Our team is on high octane fuel right now, doing whatever we can to achieve the dreams we set out as a team and to impact as many people as possible in the world in this moment. And it's not a time to balance my life. It's a time to go all in.

And then there will be a time to reflect. So I want you guys to think about where you're at in your life right now, in your business right now, your health, your relationships, and enjoy this season.
