Burning Out Quotes

“Let us take care of ourselves instead of burning out in the long run. The path of our inner world is not an irreversible freeway to immutable integrity. Let us thus leave room for some probing during the fast and furious assault of the wishful targets throughout our lives. We need not feel demeaned either when we waver in facing the hassling crossroads coming up or must admit needing incidental backing or feel compelled to accept to question ourselves to the bottom. ("Poste Restante")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“If we want to reconcile passion with patience, we should treasure endurance, the middle path, allowing weathered engagement with life without burning out or breaking down. Indeed, endurance is a valuable companion. ("The umbrella of our imagination")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“In short, you do not have to take the job that will create excessive stress and overarousal. Someone else will take it and flourish in it. You do not have to work long hours. Indeed, it may be your duty to work shorter ones. It may not be best to advertise it, but keeping yourself healthy and in your right range of arousal is the first condition for helping others.”
― Elaine N. Aron, The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You
