Esa es otra cosa que he aprendido relajándome, durmiendo, haciendo yoga. No sabía que eso es tan crucial como ir duro, como trabajar duro, como hacer ejercicio duro. Nunca lo supe. Pensaba que, "Vale, tengo que estar en el gimnasio como cinco horas todos los días yendo a tope". Y lo que mi instructor de yoga, lo que mi entrenador, lo que están tratando de enseñarme es que, "No, es el sueño." Eso es importante. Es tan importante como hacer ejercicio.

Point B of course being the end.
