A special person shared this with me just recently, and it just clicked. Here’s what it means to me:
1️⃣ Work Hard 🛠️ – Give your best effort, show up with dedication, and push through challenges. 
This doesn’t mean overworking or burning out; it’s about purposeful and passionate work that brings you closer to your goals. It’s about doing work that sparks joy and purpose. For me, working hard is about focusing on meaningful goals and channeling energy into what excites us. It’s working on things I genuinely love, like writing this post that can help others—it makes the effort feel rewarding and sustainable.
2️⃣ Play Hard 🎉 – Life isn’t just about the grind; play brings balance and joy. Playing hard means fully immersing ourselves in life’s fun moments. Life isn’t only about work. Embrace joy, have fun, and live in the moment! Whether it’s adventure, creativity, or connecting with loved ones, playing hard brings
balance and happiness to our lives, fueling our spirits. For me, it is going out, dancing until our feet hurt, laughing deeply, and connecting with family (As you see in the image of Hilla, my gorgeous sister) and friends. It’s also about filling our spirit by connecting with nature and savoring life’s beauty.
3️⃣ Rest Hard 🛌 – This is the part we often overlook. True rest—unplugging, recharging, finding calm—is essential to our well-being. Quality rest 
replenishes us and gives us the energy to go back to work and play with renewed strength. Rest is the foundation that keeps it all going. Resting hard means allowing ourselves to recharge deeply. For me, it can be achieved through meditation, music, yoga, or peaceful walks. Getting a solid 7-8 hours of sleep, taking mindful breaks, and deep breathing throughout the day help keep us grounded and ready to take on whatever comes next.
So here’s the balance: work with purpose, play with joy, and rest with intention. That’s the cycle that keeps us fulfilled. What does it mean for you? 🌱✨
