But I did point out that sometimes in life we need to force ourselves to work. Why? Because we need an income. Some people live a life where they don't need to work but most of us don't. Plenty of us had to go to work in scenarios where we didn't want to. Other half is long-term sick, kid is on school holiday, it's sunny outside, etc.
It’s like telling a tennis player to keep playing a few more matches after breaking an arm in an accident. Tough up kid! It’s a hard world out there.
No pro tennis player hasn't played a game injured. No professional athlete has gone through their career without playing injured. Every off-season we hear the list of injuries players have been playing through.
To be successful you must force yourself to do things you don't want to do. And not telling someone who just flaked out of their first job that is a diservice.
And work through two additional weeks without the strength to even brush their teeth? Doesn't seem realistic to me.
And yes, I've been there. Burnt out, depressed, you name it. It's always possible to muster up the energy to do the right thing.
