Take a rubber band and stretch it as far as you can without snapping it. Hold it there for as long as you can, without resting your arms on a table or anything like that... Eventually you will have to resign from this, and it will take a long time to recuperate.
Or... you can stretch it out just for a brief period, and then relaxing again. Doing it this way will allow you to do it more frequently.
Keep in mind that eventually the rubber band WILL break.
This exercise is a lot like living... Think about it.

In Aristotle's Ethics he states that the best in man is not indefatigible but that best does exist and is what separates him from all other life forms. To Aristotle there are two virtues: one is emotional virtue and the other is intellectual virtue. By emotional virtue he meant the "mean" or intermediate stage betwen two emotional extremes. By intellectual virtue he meant that the rational principle and time spent in contemplation were the unique aspect of man, and the more we spent time pursuing activities that are the best of ourselves the happier we will become. He was realistic and understood well that the need to spend leisure with friends, appetites, the need for physical exercise, go to work, et cetera, exacted demands on a human being so the time by which we spent pursuing the best of ourselves was quite limited; however like any exercise the more you do it the stronger you will become

Giving it to God, for He is The Only One Who knows what life at its maximum potential is.

No. You'd die of exhaustion if you max out all the time. Sometimes you need to rest and take a vacation or you'll either go insane or die. Before that happens though your productivity will suffer because you'll burnout from the stress, not to mention you need to get enough sleep to function at 100%.

even as those are especially in keeping with masonic ideas they don't seem unique to freemasonry. i'm no longer attentive to chuck being a freemason, its plausible, yet he's no longer on any prevalent freemasons record
