7. Be compassionate to yourself
If you push yourself too hard, you might burn out. Your potential might not get developed as much as you expect it to under relentless pressure. Learning and doing new things requires energy, and you can’t have it when you are exhausted.
To grow your potential, nurture it with compassion. Step outside of your comfort zone, but don’t force yourself to go to places you are fully uncomfortable with.
Take it step by step, and the results will be more lasting and effective than in a situation where you are stressed and tired. Be mindful of how you think about your achievements and failures.
