Summary

There’s always a point of diminishing marginal returns, but how do we know what’s not enough and how much is too much? What kind of athlete and person are you creating on a daily basis? Volume is relative and there is more power in not rushing the steps. Are you swimming upstream or going with the flow. It’s always best to make consistent and manageable deposits vs. over-extending. The outcome isn’t the only goal. What are you doing now to enjoy the process and make sure that random point in the future will be a success?
