| 0:00.0 | This is 5 Minute Friday episode number two five six. You've got to find the edge, but don't |
| 0:08.2 | go over it. Welcome everyone. This is all about finding the edge, the edge of life. Neil |
| 0:14.9 | Donald Walsh said, life begins at the end of your comfort zone. That comfort zone that |
| 0:21.8 | you're always living in is holding you back from living your life to the fullest, from |
| 0:27.3 | living your dreams, from having what your wildest dreams really is, from having it all. The |
| 0:35.4 | challenges, some of us tend to push the edge a little too far. And this last week, I did |
| 0:41.6 | just that I pushed the edge a little too far. I've been going, burning the candle at both |
| 0:47.0 | ends for the last month with very little sleep, traveling. I've been to 11 different cities |

| 1:46.4 | That was having a sore lower back. That was not being able to walk outside because that was in |
| 1:52.6 | a lot of pain. So I got to recover for the last three days. And I'm still in recovery phase. |
| 1:58.2 | But it was a reminder that, okay, we're human. There's an edge. We get to push to the edge. But if we go |
| 2:04.9 | over the edge too many days in a row, our body's going to break down. Our mind is going to break down. |
