Who thinks this stuff up? I’ve never been happier since I stopped pushing myself to reach limits/goals that somebody else thought was appropriate for me. . .
Reminds me of this important Christian teaching:Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.-James 2:15-17 NIV

Words of encouragement can help, but they’re really pushing it.
