I had a conversation with Kurt Beyer, the CEO of Riptopia, this morning. He used to row competitively and he said sometimes the coxswain (have no idea how to spell that) would say “push ten.” They were rowing at 100% capacity already, but they would row 110% for ten strokes. That’s how I feel right now. I’m pushing ten.

We talked about finding balance. I think there is a time to “push ten” and there is a time for re-creation or sabbath. When we maintain the rhythm established in Genesis between work and play then we’re “in sync.” God has designed us so that we come with a pre-loaded circadian rhythm. To be at peak performance we’ve got to find that rhythm.

Work hard. Play hard.
