Pushing yourself can be stupid.
Because many people always try to be better. And most of them can’t see their actual skill level.
And if you’re already trying hard and decide that you should push yourself, you won’t realize that you’ve gone beyond your limits because you’re too focused on your goal to see your errors.
And you won’t realize that there’s no longer any room in your life to create effortless performance or sit quietly and come up with creative ideas.
Skill development comes from consistent activity and rest broken by occasional stress.
So you need to try often, but only push yourself occasionally.
