I spent today having a series of conversations with my wife about the idea of resetting. We talked about being real about the journey we’re all on. Yes, you may be doing big things in business, hitting goals, and pushing forward, but let me remind you—it’s OK to reset.
Lately, I’ve been speaking a lot about the Sabbath. It feels like God has been shouting at us, saying, “I made the Sabbath for you to reset.” I want to establish from the start that hitting reset is important. But what’s truly on my heart today is how important it is to let people know when you need that reset. We live in a time where social media shows us all the highlights. It’s amazing to see people pursuing their dreams and going big—trust me, I’ll applaud you if that’s what you’re doing. But where is the vulnerability in showing that sometimes, you don’t have it all together? That sometimes, you get weak and need to step back?
Showing the human side is necessary. People need to know that it’s normal to feel tired, overwhelmed, and in need of a break. When we only show the highlight reel, we mislead others—and sometimes, we mislead ourselves. That’s how we end up living double lives.
I love when my wife comes across someone on YouTube who’s out here doing big things, but then the next day, they share the real emotions they’re battling. They’re laying it all out there. They’re not trying to be some kind of superhero who never gets tired, never grows weary, and never needs to reset. There’s power in that honesty.
So, let’s get comfortable with transparency. Let’s be OK with admitting when we need to reset. Let’s be OK with asking for prayer, with being vulnerable. I know some of you might be thinking, “I could never let anyone know when I’m weak or struggling.” But we were built for community—we were never meant to do any of this alone.
Maybe you’re not in the spotlight of social media or business yet. But if you continue to build, you might be one day. As your influence grows, it can take on a life of its own, and that’s when you’ll need to be OK with hitting that reset button, or at least having a close circle that understands when you need it.
Do me a favor—consider it. Maybe you’re not there yet, but you might be one day, and when you are, don’t be afraid to reset.
